This is a physical property, and is a prized property of metals.

Explanation:

#"Malleable"# means capable of being hammered out into a sheet, from the #"Latin, malleus, meaning hammer"#. Both malleability and ductility (which I think you asked about before) are the reasons why metals are such superb materials for toolmaking.

Both malleability and ductility are properties which are believed to be derived from non-localized metallic bonding.
