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

Amorphous solids are generally not malleable because they lack a long-range ordered structure, which is characteristic of crystalline solids. Instead of deforming under stress like malleable materials, amorphous solids tend to fracture or break. However, they can exhibit some plastic behavior at certain temperatures, which allows for limited deformation. Overall, their mechanical properties differ significantly from those of malleable substances.
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.
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.
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.
