Does helium have malleabillity?

Malleability is a property of solids and not gases. Helium is a gas and hence is not malleable.


What can a solid do that has plasticity?

Hi. Some solids are malleable, such as gold, and move quite readily. Some solids, such as diamond, do not move very much at all.


Are network solids malleable?

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.


Are molecular solids malleable?

Molecular solids are generally not malleable. They consist of molecules held together by weak intermolecular forces, such as van der Waals forces or hydrogen bonds, which do not allow for significant deformation without breaking. Instead, when subjected to stress, molecular solids are more likely to shatter or break rather than bend or deform like metals. This brittleness is a characteristic feature of many molecular solids.


How do shape and volume defer with solids liquids and gasses?

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.


What is neons ductility?

Neon is a gas, and the concept of ductility applies to malleable solids. The 'melting point' of neon is about 25 Kelvin.


Why are Na and K called waxy solids?

Both Na and K are very 'soft' or ductile (easy malleable) metals.


What is the state of matter for lanthanides?

Lanthanides exist as solids at room temperature and pressure. They have metallic properties and are typically soft, malleable, and ductile.


What are the most malleable type of elements?

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.
