metals are malleable because the free flowing blank act as a lubricant and allow the blank to blank over each other

Metals are NOT malleable because of lubricants.

The statement is FALSE.

Explanation:

Malleability is the ability of a material to bend while under pressure (compressive stress). A o malleable metal is one which can be hammered, rolled or flattened into thin sheets. Gold, iron, aluminium, copper, silver and lead are types of malleable metals.

Cheers!

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.
