Why dont metals break when pounded into sheets or drawn into wires?
Ductility and malleability are two properties of metals
What is a chemical reaction that can break down metals and alloys?
Corrosion. :P
How does a solvent attack affect metals?
It doesn't really. Solvent attack is when a solvent reacts with a polymer to break its covalent bonds. Metals don't have covalent bonds. A few very reactive metals react with water, but it's not the same type of reaction.
Can non metals be drawn into a thin wire?
You could try, but nonmetals are very brittle, so the wire would probably break.
Why do metals flatten instead of shatter when they are hit with a hammer?
Not all metals do so. The properties of being able to be beaten into sheets or drawn into wire is called malleability and ductility. Gold and copper are perhaps the best examples of this.
What do coinage metals have in common?
they are all hard to break

Why some metals are not reacting with acids?
Some metals have very strong metallic bonds which acid cannot break.
What is a chemical reaction that can break down metals and alloys?
Corrosion. :P
What are the best metals for making jewelry?
I recommend either sterling silver or silver-plated metals. Others will tarnish and/or break easily.
Do non-metals elements which are solid at room temperature break when they are hit?
Some do break, depending on the strength of the force applied.
Is non-metal dull?
Non-metals are dull (or they are not shiny as metals).
Do metals have high melting or points?
Metals have high melting points. Metals lack ionic bonding and possess metallic bonds that are so strong that it takes so much heat to break them apart.
Why are metals used for making utensils and tools?
It is durable and doesn't break as easily as plastic.
Why does glass break?
Because its particle do not have a strong force of attraction, like the metals or irons
Why does a metal Horseshoe Bend but not break when a blacksmith pound it into shape?
Because metals do not break They bend easily and conduct heat 5th grade science...
Metals are useful for tools because they?
Metals are good for tools because they are durable. Metals won't break while you are working hard throughout the day.
