What property of nonmetals is the opposite of malleable and ductile?
Brittle
How long is one ounce of gold made into wire into kilometres?
It depends on how thick the gold wire is. Gold is extremely ductile.
What is lanthanum atomic mass?
Im not sure about the atomic mass bit but Lanthanum is a silvery white, malleable, ductile, and soft rare-earth metal xx
How many feet in a troy ounce of silver wire?
It depends on how thin the wire is. Silver is very ductile. According to one source(*), an ounce of silver can be drawn out into a wire 60 miles long (316,800 feet) - such a wire would make a human hair look very thick by comparison. As a point of comparison, the same source notes that an ounce of gold, the most ductile of metals, can be drawn out into a wire 1300 miles (6,864,000 feet) long!

What does it mean if a material has a high Yield Stress value?
In colloquial terms, it is "strong". It can take a high load, and return back to an undamaged, undeformed state afterward. If the yield strength is equal to or very close to the ultimate tensile strength, common when it is a very high value, that indicates the material is not very ductile. Glass is a material like this. You can load it very high, but it will break rather than "stretch".
Can metal be hammered into thin sheets because it is ductile?
Yes.
Can be hammered into different shape?
yes, as metals are malleable and ductile in nature
Is hydrogen brittle malleable or ductile?
Hydrogen is neither malleable or ductile. It can't carry a current or be hammered into sheets because it is a gas
How is malleable different from ductile?
In practice, things that are one are frequently the other also, but technically, "ductile" means that it can be drawn into wires, and "malleable" means that it can be hammered into thin sheets.
How do you describe a material that changes shape when it is hammered?
Ductile.
A metal can be hammered into thin sheets because it is?
Gold
What does this mean gold is ductile?
Gold is ductile, as it can be hammered into very thin sheets, and be used to guild and decorate, etc.
Are malleable and ductile the same thing?
No ductile means drawn in to wires and malleable means it can be hammered in to shape. Hope i helped :-)
A material is said to be ductile if?
it can be hammered or rolled into flat sheets and other shapes.
Is clay ductile?
Clay is ductile. It is ductile because it can easily be molded in to different shapes, as well as a string like form.
What is malleability ductility?
Malleability is how malleable an object is, for example a metal is malleable as it can be hammered or bent into different shapes without breaking. Ductility is how ductile an object is, again many metals are ductile as they can be drawn or pulled into a long strand of wire without breaking.
Is metal brittle?
No. Metals are generally malleable, meaning they can be hammered into thin sheets, and ductile, meaning they can be pulled into wires.
