The substance is likely to be a metal.

Metals consist of a lattice structure with layers on top of one another. Due to this, pure metals are very ductile and malleable due to the slipping of the layers over one another. The softness and clean cuts are not possible with non-metals because they usually have rigid and brittle structures.

Chemical equations are used to model
nataly862011 [7]
Chemical equations give information in two major areas. First, they tell us what substances are reacting (those being used up) and what substances are products (those being made). Second, the coefficients of a balanced equation tell us in what ratio the substances react or are produced.
