Both gold and sodium are metals. Gold has face centred cubic crystal structure, sodium has body centered cubic structure. A face centred cubic structure allows an easy movement of dislocations in the lattice. Gold is extraordinarily ductile.

Is silver is more ductile or gold?
silver is more ductile than gold
Why is sodium more reactive than gold?
the atomic radius of sodium is greater than of gold.
Is the element boron active?
It's not as active as sodium, but it's more active than gold.
Is sodium more active than francium?
Francium is more reactive than sodium.
Why is pure gold more likely to be found in the ground than pure sodium?
Gold does not easily bond with other elements found in the earth. However, sodium bonds quite easily with other common elements such as nitrogen and chlorine, so to find pure sodium is unlikely.
Is silver is more ductile or gold?
silver is more ductile than gold
Why is sodium more reactive than gold?
the atomic radius of sodium is greater than of gold.
What metals are not ductile?
They are GALLIUM and CAESIUM that can even melt if we keep them on our palm.
Is polonium ductile?
This will help you. Phosphorus is not ductile or malleable. For one its a gas. But at room temperature, it hardens. Even when it hardens phosphorus isn't ductile or malleable because it is very brittle.
What is the malleability for gold?
Gold (Au) is a highly soft precious metal. Ductility refers to its malleability, that is its easy in shaping. Pure gold is highly ductile, and for this reason jewelry forms use harder gold alloys using other metals as hardeners.
What are some ductile materials?
Materials that are ductile, or have the property of ductility, will stretch and deform when they are pulled, rather than breaking. Gold, silver, copper, iron, and lead are common examples of ductile materials.
Why are alloys less ductile?
Actually that depends on the alloy:iron & carbon alloys are less ductile than pure iron because the small carbon atoms position themselves between the larger iron atoms and lock them in placeplutonium & gallium alloy is actually more ductile than pure plutonium as the gallium stabilizes the ductile delta phase at room temperature instead of the normal brittle alpha phase that usually forms at room temperatureetc.
Is the element boron active?
It's not as active as sodium, but it's more active than gold.
Why the machining of brittle material is easy than ductile material?
Very ductile material will often smear rather than cut during machining operations. Less ductile material (more brittle) will cut more easily.
Is bronze a ductile material?
Well, it's pretty brittle, so relatively, no. More malleable than diamonds, less malleable than copper.
Is aluminium more ductile than high carbon steel?
Aluminium is ductile and has a low melting point and density.
Is magnesium more reactive than sodium?
sodium is more reactive than magnesium!
