metals are malleable, which means they can be flatten to sheets.
Also metals are ductile , which means they can be made into thin wire.
The metals are malleable because the free flowing atoms act as a lubricant and allow the metal atom layer to roll over each other.
Answer:
Metals are NOT malleable because of lubricants.
