The physical property of metals defines their ability to be hammered, pressed, or rolled into thin sheets without breaking.

• malleability

• ductility

• elasticity

• hardness

The ability of the materials to conduct electricity.

• thermal conductivity

• electrical conductivity

• conductor of heat

• insulator of heat

This refers to the ability of the material to withstand wear, pressure, or damage.

• malleability

• ductility

• elasticity

• durability

The physical property of a material is associated with the ability to be hammered thin or stretched into wire without breaking.

• malleability

• ductility
