Why can metals bend?
Metals can bend because of their unique atomic structure, which allows layers of atoms to slide past each other when a force is applied. This phenomenon is called plastic deformation, and it enables metals to change shape without breaking. Additionally, the presence of "defects" such as dislocations in the metal's crystal lattice also contributes to its ability to bend.
What materials can bend?
Materials such as metals, plastics, and wood can bend under applied force. The ability of a material to bend depends on its flexibility, elasticity, and strength. Materials like rubber and silicone are also known for their bendability.
A bimetallic strip will bend when heated because?
a bimetallic strip consists of two different metals with different thermal expansion coefficients. When heated, these metals expand at different rates, causing the strip to bend due to the resulting difference in length between the two metals.
Why can metals bend without breaking?
Metals can bend without breaking due to their unique crystalline structure and the way that metallic bonds hold the atoms together. When a force is applied, the layers of atoms are able to slide past each other in a process called plastic deformation, allowing the metal to change shape without fracturing.
How does a bimetallic thermometer works?
It is an experiment that demonstrates thermal expansion. Two metals with different thermal expansion coefficients are bonded together and when heated, one will expand more than the other, causing the strip to bend to one side. No matter which way you direct the flame, the metal which expands more will bend in the same direction. This is used as a thermometer because the more intense the heat, the bigger the curve.
Can metals bend?
Yes, many metals can bend, even without being heated (eg. Copper). These are called malleable metals.
Why non metals are non malleable?
Malleable means how easy or hard it is to contort an item. Metals are easy to because they can be heated up and shaped. It is hard (i dont even think possible) to bend or contort something like oxygen

What are some examples of types of metals that stretch and bend?
ulok
What are unreactive metals?
metals which dont react with water or acid are called unreactive metals
Why does a metal Horseshoe Bend but not break when a blacksmith pound it into shape?
Because metals do not break They bend easily and conduct heat 5th grade science...
What type of item does not burn?
Generally speaking, metals do not burn. However, with a great amount of heat, metals can bend and lose structural integrity.
If ligaments dont stretch how do knees bend?
Ligaments attach muscle to bone. When you bend your knee, it is the muscles that stretch.
Why don't nonmetals bend?
because they dont feel like it
What bend and straightens the knee?
i dont know people!
What materials can bend?

What is a metals ability to bend called?
A metal's ability to bend without breaking is called malleability. Metals with high malleability can be easily bent or shaped into various forms without fracturing.
