The ability of a substance to be hammered Without breaking?

Malleability :)


What is the ability of a substance to be hammered or rolled into thin sheets is known as?

It is by using the term malleability that we describe the ability of a material or substance to be beaten into thin sheets without breaking or tearing. There is a link below to the Wikipedia article on ductility, and malleability is sometimes considered an "extension" of this property of materials.


What are 9 special properties of matter with definition?

· Elasticity-ability to return to its original shape or size after stretching · Flexibility- ability to bend up to a certain degree without breaking · Malleability-ability to be formed or shaped by pressure such as hammering · Ductility-ability to be drawn into thin wires. Example: aluminum · Brittleness-ability of a material to easily break · Luster- how shiny an object is · Solubility-ability to be dissolved in another substance · Viscosity- ability of a liquid to resist to flow · Volatility- ability to vaporize easily · Conductivity- ability to allow the flow of energy/electricity · Porosity- ability to allow liquid/gas to pass through. Example: clothes


What is the term for the capability of being bent repeatedly without injury or damage?

What is a solid that has ability to bend without breaking?

If a material is easy to bend without breaking, it is usually described as flexible (flexibility). Another similar term is tensile strength (the strength of a material when it is stretched). Malleability describes the material's ability to be molded without breaking. Tensile strength and ductility describe the ability to be stretched without breaking.

Is State chemical or physical?

A physical state is physical and not chemical Physical Property is observed without changing a substance into another substance. Chemical property is the ability of a substance to change into different substance.


What is the difference between strong and hard properties?

The strength of an object is the ability to withstand a weight with/without breaking whereas the hardness of an object is the ability to scratch another material.


Compare and contrast chemical and physical properties?

Physical properties are characteristics of a pure substance that can be observed without changing it into another substance. Chemical properties are characteristics of a pure substance that describes its ability to change into different substance.
