Answer 1

Answer: Copper is malliable and ductile because the atoms are able to easily slide over each other into new positions without breaking the metallic bond which means the local bonds can be easily broken and reformed within a metallic bond.

Explanation:Metals are expressed as malleable i.e,can be beaten into sheets and ductilei.e,can be pulled out into wires. This is because of the ability of the atoms to roll over each other into new positions without breaking the metallic bond.Copper being a metal possess these characteristics and hence they are malliable and ductile
