What kind of element is most stretchable of any element?

Yes, according to Glencoe science gold is the most stretchable of any element on the periodic table of elements. In science the word 'ductile' is usually used in place of stretchable. The ability of a metal to be stretched would be called its ductility. This is in contrast to malleability, the ability of a metal to be hammered into thin layers. Gold is both highly ductile and highly malleable, but the characteristics do not always go together. Lead, for example, is highly malleable but not very ductile.


What is the malleability for gold?

Gold (Au) is a highly soft precious metal. Ductility refers to its malleability, that is its easy in shaping. Pure gold is highly ductile, and for this reason jewelry forms use harder gold alloys using other metals as hardeners.


What is the physical state for strontium?

Strontium is a soft silver-white or yellowish metallic element that is highly reactive chemically. The metal turns yellow when exposed to air.


What does it mean if a element is ductile?

Ductile metals are metals that can be pulled into long, thin lengths without breaking. Some metals are more easilly formed in this way that others, so some aremore ductile than others. Gold and copper are examples of highly ductile metals. Potassium is an example of a metal that is not ductile.


Is polonium ductile?

This will help you. Phosphorus is not ductile or malleable. For one its a gas. But at room temperature, it hardens. Even when it hardens phosphorus isn't ductile or malleable because it is very brittle.

Is francium brittle malleable ductile lustrous magnetic sonorous or conductive of electricity?

Well, isn't that just a happy little question! Francium is a very special element that is highly reactive and not found in large quantities in nature. It is not brittle, malleable, ductile, lustrous, or magnetic. However, it is conductive of electricity due to its ability to easily lose an electron.


Is iron is highly malleable and ductile?

Yes


Is silver ductile?

Yes, silver is ductile. It is a highly malleable and ductile metal, meaning it can be easily stretched and shaped into various forms without breaking.


When is a highly sonorous metal needed?

For things like churches (bells), and things similar to that but they just constantly bang it to make the sound


What is the element of gold?

Gold is a chemical element with the symbol Au and atomic number 79. It is a dense, soft, shiny, highly malleable, and ductile metal known for its lustrous yellow color. Gold is a highly valuable and sought-after precious metal used in jewelry, electronics, and as a store of value.


Is gold malleable or ductile?

Gold is malleable and ductile. It is not magnetic.

How ductile is Nobelium?

Nobelium is a synthetic element that is predicted to be highly radioactive and has not been produced in large enough quantities to determine its ductility. However, being an actinide element, it is expected to have low ductility like other elements in the same group.


What is the physical state for strontium?

Strontium is a soft silver-white or yellowish metallic element that is highly reactive chemically. The metal turns yellow when exposed to air.


Heaviest element that is highly radioactive?

The heaviest element that is highly radioactive is Ununoctium, which has an atomic number of 118.
