Some solids, particularly certain metals, are malleable, but many are not.
Covalent network solids are generally not malleable. They have crystal structures that lack obvious glide planes and the covalent bonds are difficult to break and remake. This is a contrast with the metals where many of the crystal structures have glide planes and metallic bonds are relatively easy to break and remake.
Lanthanides exist as solids at room temperature and pressure. They have metallic properties and are typically soft, malleable, and ductile.
Neon is a gas, so it has no hardness. Hardness is a property associated with solid materials, and it measures the resistance of materials like metal or minerals to deform when a force is applied to them.
Malleable
Gold is a malleable element. Silver is another malleable element.
a malleable solid is dense
A Rubber and Chewing Gum
able to be bent or otherwise changed in shape
Malleability is a property of solids and not gases. Helium is a gas and hence is not malleable.
Hi. Some solids are malleable, such as gold, and move quite readily. Some solids, such as diamond, do not move very much at all.

both are fixed (unless acted upon by outside forces) in a solid; volume is fixed but shape is malleable in a liquid; and both are malleable in a gas.
Neon is a gas, and the concept of ductility applies to malleable solids. The 'melting point' of neon is about 25 Kelvin.
Both Na and K are very 'soft' or ductile (easy malleable) metals.
Lanthanides exist as solids at room temperature and pressure. They have metallic properties and are typically soft, malleable, and ductile.
Mercury is a liquid at room temperature. Lead is very malleable you can rip it with you hand and turn into a ball if you really want too. But gold is the most malleable in its pure form of 24k. But people mix it with other thing like copper and that's how you get 22k, 18k 16k ect.
Solids have a definite shape because the atoms which make them up are locked firmly in place, and only through external forces (ie, if you cut a part of) or changing the state (melting it) will it become malleable.
