(a) Metals are malleable and can be easily drown into sheets by hitting with a hammer. On the other hand, if we beat non-metals they break down, and they cannot be drawn into sheets as they are non-malleable.

(b) These experiments can be helpful to demonstrate the malleability and electric conductivity of the metals and non-metals
