I need to know how the following pure elements are ranked in terms of their malleability:
Iron
Cobalt
Nickel
Copper
Zinc
This is for a geocaching puzzle that I'm working on. I know how some of them are ranked already, but I want to double-check my answers to this as well. Thanks in advance.

I'm not an inorganic chemist, I'm an organic chemist...
That being said, I would say that copper is the most malleable, probably followed by zinc. I would put nickel and cobalt next, with iron as the least malleable of the lot. That's just off the top of my head...hope that helps!
