no relationship between malleability and melting point.
by Elwood on July 11th, 2009
Gold is nowhere near the softest metallic element. Tin, lead, potassium, and lithium are MUCH softer. Gold is the most malleable, though, in that it doesn't lose its atomic cohesion no matter how thin it is flattened or rolled.

Malleability has nothing to do with melting point. Malleability is to do with how the atoms slip over each other when solid, melting point with how easy it is to get the atoms to relinquish their crystalline bonds.

Gold is malleable, which means it is easily pounded and beaten into different shapes, hammered, forged, pressed, or rolled into thin sheets... the heating temperature can vary.

malleability Means the ability of a material to be beaten into sheets while ductility is the ability of a material to be drawn into wires. Both are the indicators of the Slip of lattice planes within the matrix of the metal.
It has nothing to do with melting point. However what i understand that you mean that lead is more softer than gold near melting point of Lead. Yes you may be right if that is what you are thinking

I am an engineer/fire investigator. At scenes we find copper wires in the debris that are bright red. Any ideas on what causes the change?

You're reading If gold is the most mallible metal element,why does it take almost three times the temprature to melt than lead?
