Just the opposite metals are malliable.
# Most metals are malleable (can be pounded into thin sheets; a sugar cube chunk of gold can be pounded into a thin sheet which will cover a football field), and ductile (can be drawn out into a thin wire).
# All are solids at room temp (except Mercury, which is a liquid)
Check the kink

Most metls are ductile(able to be drawn into a wire) and malleable,(able to be hammered into a shape) Brittle is a characteristic of nonmetals.

No. Mercury is actually a liquid at room temperature. There are quite a few metals that are relatively soft. Elemental sodium, for example, is quite soft, as is potassium, and even gold.

mercury is the only metal that is usuall found in liquid form at room temperature. other metals are fairly malleable like gold which can be bent.

No. Most are ductile (can be drawn into a wire shape) or mallable(can be hammered into a thin sheet) although there is a percent of them when they are in their ore state can be pulverized into crumbs but once melted, can be messed with.

Most of the metals are malleable because there are ionic bond in metal.

No
non-brittle examples would be: titanium, steel, iron

there are ductile too which experience observeable plastic deformation and brittle which experience no deformation

Yes most are but there are those that are not. Gold , Sliver, Mercury ,copper. etc.

No. Think gold, silver, lead, copper
