Malleable means cutting the metals in form of thin sheets. Gold is the most malleable among the given 3 options.

I think it is not gold because the sheets we saw on sweets are made up of silver.

MALLEABLE is a state of a metal or mineral such that it can be flattened under the blows of a hammer into thin sheet without crumbling or breaking into fragments. Malleable is having the capacity of change something.

Both Ag and Au have malleable capacity, but gold has a great affinity towards malleability due to its larger size, so outer unpaired electron get shifted, which causes malleability. THANK you.

I satisfy with answer because, 1 gm of gold spread about 2 km. So gold is more malleable than other options.

Malleable means the expansion capacity in simple words. You Must have seen golden neck jewellery of gold. It's true that 1 gram of gold can make 2km length of a neck chain. There were very long expanded decorated chains in Ancient forts.
