What is the term for the ability of metals to be drawn into thin wires, and which metal is highlighted as the most ductile in the activity?

The term for the ability of metals to be drawn into thin wires is ductility. Ductility is the property of a material to deform under tensile stress and be stretched into a wire without breaking. In the activity series, gold is often highlighted as the most ductile metal. Gold’s exceptional ductility allows it to be drawn into incredibly thin wires, making it valuable for various applications, including the production of fine jewelry, where thin gold wires can be woven into intricate designs due to their remarkable ability to be stretched without breaking.
