Best Answer

Malleable is a characteristic of metals as is being ductile and sonorous.

Malleable means being able to be beaten into a shape. Ductile means being able to be drawn into wires. Sonorous means ringing like a bell when struck.

Metals also conduct electricity and heat.

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.


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.


Is malleable a metal non-metal or metalloid?

A metal is malleable because aluminium, for example, can be compressed to a thin sheet and copper can be stretched to form a wire. On the other hand, a nonmetal isn't malleable. For example, carbon is extremely solid (it is a component of diamond). A metalloid, though, may be malleable or not depending on it's characteristics. Tin is a malleable substance (at some point) but silicon isn't... it's a rock!
