Ionic compounds are bonded by ionic bonds. These bonds are very strong and not elastic. There is no way to bend them, even at high temperatures. Metals are bonded covalently. These are much weaker bonds and can bend easier. The bonds are more elastic, allowing metals to be bent.
elephants tusk's will turn into noodles if the ionic crystals shatter
It depends on their tinsile strength
It is because of the malleability of the metal
yes, there are far more metallic elements than nonmetals.
No. Noble gasses are elements that rarely, if ever form chemical bonds. The elements with both metallic and nonmetallic properties are the metalloids.
The number of electrons to be gained or lost is what differientiates metallic and non-metallic elements on the periodic table at a subatomic level.
"Metallic" is not a metal. But elements that are metals, are metallic.
yes
Elements in Group I and II can easily bend, but cannot breakdown easily. So as Mg is in Group II, it can bend easily but does not break easily.
yes, there are far more metallic elements than nonmetals.
This phenomenon is called "tribochemistry".

The metals outnumber the non-metals by a good margin.
metallic elements are found in the center of the periodic table, and nonmetallic elements are anywhere but the middle...
the chemical and physical behavior of metallic elements
Group 1 or alkali metals are the most metallic elements.
"Metallic" is not a metal. But elements that are metals, are metallic.
If you mean a mixture of metallic elements, it is an alloy.
