It is malleable
Explanation:
The property that makes metals such as sterling silver the best to create hammered earrings is their malleability.
All metals have a unique and fascinating property of being malleable. They can be carved into any of shape. When hammered they simply draw out and retain their long range ordering of their crystal lattice.
This is made possible by the presence of metallic bonding between the atoms.
- The bulk of the physical properties of metals can be attributed the metallic bonds in them.
- Metals have large sea of electrons in them.
- In forming metallic bonds, there is an attraction between the positive nuclei of all the closely packed atoms in the lattice and the electron cloud jointly formed by all the atoms by loosing their outermost shell electrons.
- Metals like silver have low ionization energy.
- When they are hammered, they spread out the energy from the hammering.

Each energy sublevel corresponds to an orbital of a different shape.
Explanation:
Two sublevels of the same principal energy level differs from each other if the sublevels corrresponds to an orbital of a different shape.
- The principal quantum number of an atom represents the main energy level in which the orbital is located or the distance of an orbital from the nucleus. It takes values of n = 1,2,3,4 et.c
- The secondary quantum number gives the shape of the orbitals in subshells accommodating electrons.
- The number of possible shapes is limited by the principal quantum numbers.
Take for example, Carbon:
1s² 2s² 2p²
The second energy level is 2 but with two different sublevels of s and p. They have different shapes. S is spherical and P is dumb-bell shaped .
