A Rubber and Chewing Gum
a malleable solid is dense
Some solids, particularly certain metals, are malleable, but many are not.
able to be bent or otherwise changed in shape
All metals are malleable. Gold and sodium are good examples.
three examples of nested solids
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.
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.
Rubber and glass which become softer as they are heated are examples of crystalline solids
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.
There are several examples of malleable solutions around places like a home. These include most metals, most plastics, many fabrics for clothing, and the like.
No, rubber and glass are examples of amorphous solids, not crystalline solids. Crystalline solids have a repeating atomic arrangement, while amorphous solids lack a regular, ordered structure.
