Malleability refers to the property of a metal to be beaten into thin sheets without breaking or cracking. It allows metals to be shaped and formed into various structures or objects. Gold and silver are examples of metals that are highly malleable.
Ductility refers to the property of a metal to be drawn into thin wires without breaking or fracturing. It allows metals to be stretched and formed into long, thin strands. Gold is the most ductile metal, and a wire of about 2 km length can be drawn from just one gram of gold.
