Malleabilty and ductility are properties stemming from how metals bond on a molecular level.

Covalent and metallic bonds allow molecules to flex, before breaking. As opposed to ionic bonding, which is sensitive to being bent; ionic bonds are brittle

What is the difference between ductile iron and malleable iron?

Malleable cannot be broken like a cast fitting can be and normally malleable fittings / pipe do not have a seam +++ Its full name is Malleable CAST Iron - it is cast as "ordinary" cast-iron but is a lot less brittle. It is an important material combining some of the properties of cast-iron with those of mild-steel.

Information about properties of different materials such as iron wood copper etc?

Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity. It has a high boiling point. Copper is also malleable. Malleable or ductile is when you can bend the thing. If the thing is not ductile it cannot be bent.
