Malleability - Malleability is a physical property of metals that defines the ability to be hammered, pressed, or rolled into thin sheets without breaking.
Ductility - a metal substance is capable of being stretched out into a thin wire, and it does not become weaker or become brittle in the process.
Q. Why is sodium kept immersed in kerosene oil ?
Ans.- Sodium is high reactive element. If it is kept in open it can explosively react with oxygen to catch fire. Hence to prevent accidental damage sodium is immersed in kerosene oil.

heya ________
1.
•MALLEABILITY :-
it is a physical property if metal of beaten in to Thin sheets.
gold and silver are best examples..
•DUCTILITY :-
it is the property of metals drawn in to thin wire.
copper is the best example...
2. Sodium kept immersed in kerosene oil because it is a highly reactive metal . if it kept open it can explosively react with oxygen O2 which may causes harm..
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!
