Explanation

Malleability refers to a metal's ability to be deformed under compressive stress, such as hammering, allowing it to be formed into thin sheets. Ductility, on the other hand, is the ability to be drawn into wires. Conductivity relates to the flow of electric current, and density is the mass per unit volume.
