it would be transition elements/metals, as they are malleable metals, meaning they can be hammered into shapes.
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.
all elements that are not main group elements are metals, and since rhenium is not a main group element, it is a metal. Hope this helped!
Group 1 Metals
Neodymium is a hard, brittle metal and is classified as non-malleable because it does not exhibit malleability, which is the ability of a material to be hammered or rolled into thin sheets without breaking.
Transition metal group,that is between group 2 and 3
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.
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
Yes.
This is a malleable metal.
The fact that it can be hammered into sheets would seem to be the most relevant characteristic in this case.
malleable can be hammered into thin sheets
Malleability is the property of a metal that allows it to be hammered into thin sheets without breaking. This property is important in metalworking processes like forging and shaping.

Gold
A substance fitting this description is a non-metal, such as sulfur or phosphorus. These elements have properties like poor thermal and electrical conductivity, brittleness, waxy or gaseous states, and inability to be hammered into thin sheets.
Malleable , malleability is the ability of a metal to be hammered into thin sheets.
