What metal is flexible?
There are several metals that have a certain span of flexibility. It depends on the purpose the metal is being used for, and the shape the metal takes on. Aluminum, copper, and sterling silver, all have uses that require some flexibility. Springs made of steel can be considered flexible.
What do you call a long flexible rope?
Flexible rope
What are the 3 categories metals go into?
Metals, Non-metals and Metaloids
What is the difference between rigid and flexible couplings?
What is the difference between rigid and flexible coupling.
Is PVC flexible?
The smaller sizes are more flexible. Colder temps affect flexibility.
Why metals are flexible?
Metals are flexible due to the arrangement of their atoms in a crystalline structure. The atoms in metals are closely packed together in layers, allowing them to slide past each other when a force is applied. This ability to deform without breaking is what gives metals their flexibility. Additionally, the presence of metallic bonds, where electrons are free to move throughout the material, also contributes to the malleability and ductility of metals.
Are non-metals flexible?
No, non-metals are not malleable simply because of the way the atoms are arranged. In metals the atoms are arranged so they will just slide past each other but in non-metals the atoms are arranged differently so they on't just slide past each other.
Is metal flexible?
Generally, metals are not very flexible compared to materials like rubber or plastic. However, some metals, such as aluminum and copper, can be manipulated to be more flexible through processes like rolling or stretching. These metals are often used in applications where flexibility is important.
What is a good website to compare non-metals and metals?
Metals have a characteristic silvery, shiny appearance, they are electrically conductive, flexible (except for mercury which is liquid), and they engage in chemical reactions in which they are electron donors, forming positive ions. Non-metals are less shiny, generally not good electrical conductors, not as flexible, and they engage in chemical reactions in which they receive electrons, forming negative ions. Some non-metals such as carbon can either give or receive electrons, but even when they give electrons they do not do so as readily as metals do.
Are nonmentals mealleable?
no. they may be workable or flexible but the term isn't malleable. malleability is a term only used in reference to metals.
Is lithium flexible?
Like all group one metals, lithium is a relatively soft metal, easily scratched and bent. Thus, it would qualify as flexible. But touching lithium or, even worse, any of the heavier group one metals with bare hands would result in reaction of the metal with slight amounts of water on your hands, creating immense heat, and in the case of the heavier metals, a hydrogen explosion.
How come some magnets look plastic and are flexible?
Magnets are made from iron, nickel, and cobalt. Cobalt is a bit more flexible than the other two, which are very hard metals. It could also be an alloy of the three, but I don't know about that.
Why non metals cannot be drawn into wires?
Non-metals lack the ductility and malleability required to be drawn into wires. Their atomic and molecular structures do not allow the formation of long, flexible chains of atoms needed for wire drawing. Additionally, non-metals tend to be brittle, making them unsuitable for stretching into wire shapes.
What are the advantages of an amalgamation?
An amalgamation may mean that you get the best of both, i.e. amalgamating metals means that you may get a stronger but more flexible item. It comes from the word for an alloy containing mercury which on its own is not as useful as when it is combined with other metals!
Pliant metals cannot be twisted easily?
Pliant metals are flexible and can be bent easily, but they are not easily twisted because they offer resistance to shearing forces. Twisting typically requires a combination of bending and torsional forces, which may be difficult to achieve in pliant metals due to their high malleability and low shear strength.

Does the flexible belly rings work?
Flexible navel gems are a short term fix for those who may be pregnant and need a bit more flex in the jewellery. This is only a short term solution as plastics will wear down over time where metals won't.
