Pl help! based on patterns in the periodic table which element is the least malleable in its solid state
A. phosphorus (P)

B. strontium (Sr)

C. antimony (Sb)

D. copper (Cu)

The correct answer is option D. copper (Cu)

Malleability is the ability of metals to be hammered into sheets.

Metals are often required for different applications. The ability of metals to be hammered into sheets is called malleability.

Malleability of a metal is closely related to its density. The denser the metal, the less easily malleable it is.

Both copper and strontium are metals but copper is denser than strontium hence copper is less malleable than strontium.

The metals having malleable property can be rolled or beaten into sheets.

Metallic bonds are very covalent that is, they share electrons among nuclei.

copper metal is a good conductor of electricity.

Pure Copper is soft, malleable and ductile.

i think so D.copper (Cu) is correct or more appropriate
