 PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF METALS & NON METALS
II. Malleability & Brittleness: Metals
The property which allows the metals to be hammered into thin sheets or foils is called
malleability. Most of the metals are malleable.

II. Malleability & Brittleness: Non-Metals
The property due to which non-metals ( if in solid state) break up into pieces when
hammering is called brittleness.
