Amorphous solids are generally not malleable because they lack a long-range ordered structure, which is characteristic of crystalline solids. Instead of deforming under stress like malleable materials, amorphous solids tend to fracture or break. However, they can exhibit some plastic behavior at certain temperatures, which allows for limited deformation. Overall, their mechanical properties differ significantly from those of malleable substances.
