Gold is the most malleable of all metals; a single gram can be beaten into a sheet of 1 square meter, and an ounce into 300 square feet. Gold leaf can be beaten thin enough to become transparent. " Pure Platinum is also quite plastic, as are pure Silver, pure copper, pure lead, and other metals.

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.

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.

Other need to be heated very long but gold not needs to be heated so long. It can be expanded itself without such hard work.

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

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

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

Silver is used also because it is not expensive than gold.
