| All metal*s are ductile : Metals can be melted and drawn into thin wires. Because of this property, metal*s are known as ductile. The ductility property follows from the malleability property (page 6). While being drawn into wires, metal*s are stretched. Because of the strong metal*lic bonds, the metal* atoms do not separate easily. Silver, copper, and aluminum are very ductile and very thin wires can be made out them. | |||||||||||
