If a metal can be drawn into wires relatively easily it is called
|
malleable
|
|
ductile
|
|
extractive
|
|
tactile

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The property of metals by virtue of which they can be drawn into wires is called ductility.
Detailed explanation-2: -In general, all metals are ductile at elevated temperatures. At room temperature, however, there is another story. Metals that only can receive a small amount of deformation before fracture are classified as brittle – essentially the opposite of ductile.
Detailed explanation-3: -Copper, gold, iron, silver and aluminium are used extensively in flat sheets, foil, and wire because they are highly malleable and ductile. Metals conduct electricity well, a physical property not shared with most other materials.
