is zinc malleable
Zinc is malleable if you heat it to between 100 degrees C and 150 degrees C; outside that temperature range it's brittle. As to whether it's ductile...no, and that's immaterial anyway because the wire would break if you made any.ell one of the physical properties of metals is being ductile and zinc is a metal so the answer is yes= not really Zinc is hard and brittle which makes it hard to stretch it. â¦ Tungsten is a metal and is to hard to even try to turn into a wire. 6 people found this useful.
Metals vary in this respect; pure gold is the most malleable. Silver, copper, aluminum, lead, tin, zinc, and iron are also very malleable. Some heating usually increases malleability.Zinc, for example, at ordinary temperatures is very brittle, but is malleable in the temperature range from about 120Â°C. to 150Â°C. Impurities adversely affect the malleability of metals.The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th ed.
