Yes , Gold is stretchable, however not in the elastic sense . Gold and some other metals are considered Malleable , that is they can be stretched or formed by rolling , hammering , and other mechanical means, without breaking or falling to pieces.

No, gold is not stretchable in the way that materials like rubber or plastic are. Gold is a metal with high malleability, which means it can be molded, hammered, or rolled into thin sheets or shapes without breaking. However, it does not exhibit the same stretchiness as stretchable materials.

What kind of element is most stretchable of any element?

Yes, according to Glencoe science gold is the most stretchable of any element on the periodic table of elements. In science the word 'ductile' is usually used in place of stretchable. The ability of a metal to be stretched would be called its ductility. This is in contrast to malleability, the ability of a metal to be hammered into thin layers. Gold is both highly ductile and highly malleable, but the characteristics do not always go together. Lead, for example, is highly malleable but not very ductile.
