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 long is one ounce of gold made into wire into kilometres?
It depends on how thick the gold wire is. Gold is extremely ductile.
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".

Is a substance that is malleable and ductile a metal or nonmetal?
Ductile metals are metals that5 can be shaped and pulled. Gold is a example of a ductile metal so in other words, yes it is a type of metals. Ductility is a property of some metals. It is also a property of materials other than metal.
Why is metal a element?
Nonmetals have properties opposite those of themetals. The nonmetals are brittle, not malleable or ductile, poor conductors of both heat and electricity, and tend to gain electrons in chemical reactions. Some nonmetals are liquids. These elements are shown in the following figure.
What is the ductility of ruthenium?
Yes, it is. All the metals are malleable and ductile
What properties are described by the words 'malleable' and 'ductile'?
Malleable property describes the property of a substance such that it can be made into sheets by striking. Ductile property describes the property of a substance that it can be drawn into wires. For example: Aluminium, it is available in sheets and even in the form of wires.
Are covalent bonds malleable and ductile?
no they're not malleable and ductile
