Malleable means how easy or hard it is to contort an item. Metals are easy to because they can be heated up and shaped. It is hard (i dont even think possible) to bend or contort something like oxygen

What else can I help you with?

What are four physical properties used to compare metals non-metals and metalloids?

Conductivity: Metals typically conduct electricity and heat well, while non-metals are poor conductors. Luster: Metals exhibit a metallic luster, appearing shiny and reflective, unlike non-metals which are generally dull. Malleability: Metals can be hammered into thin sheets (malleable), while non-metals are brittle and not malleable. Density: Metals are generally dense compared to non-metals, which are lighter in density.


Is malleable properties of both metals and non metals?

Malleability is a property of metals, not nonmetals. Metals are malleable, meaning they can be hammered or pressed into different shapes without breaking. Nonmetals are typically brittle and cannot be molded in the same way.

Xenon is a gas at STP. Gases are not malleable.


What are the differences of metal and non metal?

Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, are ductile, malleable and shiny, and most of them are solid (except mercury). A non metal is a bad conductor of heat and electricity, are not malleable, ductile or shiny, and can be a solid, liquid, or gas.


Do metals have luster and are malleable?

Yes, many metals (not all) have a luster and are malleable.


Is krypton malleable or not mallable?

The question does not really apply, as krypton is a gas under normal conditions. As it is a non-metal, if you did solidify it, it would not be malleable.


Which is NOT a property of a nonmetal?

Non-metals are not ductile or malleable. Also, they are not lustrous apart from one exception. They gain electrons or share them in general to from compounds.
