Gold(Au) is the most malleable metal. Gold can be made so thin that the thickness of that foil achieved will be of 2 atoms.
Surely a gram of Gold can be made so thin, but the expansion of 2 kilometers is only possible when the thickness is about 100 atoms, while the breadth of the foil is 30-40 atoms. Then only the length of that foil can be 2 km.
