Yes they can.Although metals are quite strong structures they are not rigid.

They are malleable-can be hammered to form different shapes.

What is the property that allows matter to be bent flattened or hammered without breaking is?

The property that allows matter to be bent, flattened, or hammered without breaking is called malleability. This property is a result of the ability of the material's atoms to move or slide past each other under stress without causing fractures. Metals, such as gold and aluminum, are known for their high malleability.


Able to be hammered into sheets?

The material must be malleable, allowing it to be shaped and flattened by hammering. Metals like gold, silver, and copper are commonly used for this purpose due to their ability to be hammered into thin sheets without breaking. This process is known as metalworking or metal forming.


Why does a duvet keep you less warm if it has been flattened?

A duvet might keep you less warm if it is flattened because there will be less warm air trapped in the layers of the duvet. The temperature difference will probably not be extremely noticeable in a home with heat.


How are electromagnets used in recycling metals?

Electromagnets are used in recycling metals to separate ferrous metals from non-ferrous metals. When a magnet is applied to a mixture of metals, only the ferrous metals (which are magnetic) are attracted to the magnet. This allows for efficient sorting and separation of different types of metals for recycling purposes.


Is there a difference in weight if an aluminum can is flattened?

Flattening an aluminum can makes no difference to its weight. However, a bag full of flattened aluminum cans will weigh much more than a bag full of unflattened aluminum cans, simply because you can fit many more cans in the bag.

Aluminum (Al) and Copper (Cu) are metals, and all metals share the same properties: Malleable (can be flattened or shaped) Heat and Electric conductivity Luster (shine) and Density (higher than non-metals) Aluminum (Al) and Copper (Cu) are metals, and all metals share the same properties: Malleable (can be flattened or shaped) Heat and Electric conductivity Luster (shine) and Density (higher than non-metals)


What test can you perform on an object to find out if it is a metal?

See if it will conduct electricity, and see if it can be flattened and stay flattened. Metals conduct electricity and heat, and are malleable. They also have a luster (shiny when polished) and are ductile- they can be drawn out like wire.
