A.VERIFIED ANSWERfact-checked by tutors
Malleability is the property of a material to be hammered or pressed into thin sheets without breaking. Ductility is the property of a material to be drawn into thin wires without breaking. Gold is an excellent example of a metal that exhibits both malleability and ductility prominently, allowing it to be beaten into extremely thin foils and drawn into fine wires.
