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
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.
What is silvers cleavage?
In mineralogy, cleavage refers to the way a mineral breaks along planes of weakness due to the arrangement of its atoms. Silver has a characteristic cleavage that is typically described as perfect in one direction, meaning it breaks cleanly and easily along one plane. This cleavage is a result of the crystal structure of silver, which allows it to break along the atomic planes with minimal force.
What is silicons ductility?
Silicon is not ductile; it is a brittle material. This means that it is not able to be drawn out into wires or hammered into thin sheets like ductile materials such as copper or gold.
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.
Why is Uranium ductile?
Uranium is ductile because it has a face-centered cubic crystal structure, which allows its atoms to easily slide past one another without breaking bonds. This property gives uranium the ability to be stretched into thin wires or hammered into thin sheets without fracturing.
Are malleable and ductile the same thing?
No, malleability and ductility are not the same. Malleability refers to the ability of a material to be hammered or rolled into thin sheets, while ductility refers to the ability of a material to be stretched or drawn into a wire.
What is a ductile fracture?
Capable of being hammered out thin, as certain metals; malleable. Can be made into wires.
