No it cant because the particles in iodine are further apart than a normal solid and it would break
Yes - depending on what you call "thin". Gold is capable of being hammered much thinner.
They are called malleable.
it would be transition elements/metals, as they are malleable metals, meaning they can be hammered into shapes.
Gold is one of the best examples. It can be hammered into very thin sheets.
Yes. Aluminium is a metal and a very malleable (can be hammered into sheets) metal as well. To prove this, 'tin' foil used to wrap food for cooking (like 'Bacofoil') is actually made from aluminum and not tin. The most malleable metal is gold - it can be hammered into thin 'gold leaf' sheets that can be so thin that they are just a few atoms thick. Aluminium is not as malleable as this, but it can easily be made into foil.
No, iodine is a non-metal and is not malleable. Malleability typically refers to the ability of a material to be hammered or rolled into thin sheets without breaking, which does not apply to iodine.
Yes, silver can be hammered into sheets, a process known as silver sheet metalwork. The metal is heated to make it more malleable, then hammered using a technique known as planishing to create thin, flat sheets.
metals
no because oxygen cannot be hammered
The fact that it can be hammered into sheets would seem to be the most relevant characteristic in this case.
There are a number of metals that can be hammered into sheets, and gold is the best of them. It is the malleability of metal that allows it to be hammered thinly, and a link to that related question can be found below.
Malleability is the property that allows a material to be hammered into thin sheets without breaking.
An element that can be hammered is called malleable.
