Detailed explanation-1: -Metals on being hammered can be beaten into thinner sheets. This property is called Malleability. Most metals are malleable. Gold and Silver metals are the most malleable metals.

Detailed explanation-2: -A malleable material is one in which a thin sheet can be easily formed by hammering or rolling. In other words, the material has the ability to deform under compressive stress. A malleable material is one in which a thin sheet can be easily formed by hammering. Gold is the most malleable metal.

Detailed explanation-3: -Metals are malleable that is, they can be hammered into sheets. Gold, silver, aluminium and tin can be beaten into very thin sheets called foils. Non-metals do not possess the property of malleability.

Detailed explanation-4: -The ability to be hammered, pressed, or rolled into thin sheets without breaking is called malleability. Ductility is the ability to be drawn out into a thin wire.

Detailed explanation-5: -(1) The property due to which a substance can be hammered (or rollect) into a thin sheet without cracking is called malleability. (2) Metals are malleable. Thus, a metal can be hammered to form a thin sheet.
