X is the metal as it flattens, this property of metals in which metals can be turned into thin sheets is known as ductility, whereas non- metals do not hold this property and they break when tried to be turned into thin sheets.

metals are highly mallaeble so they can be easily converted into sheets while non metals are generally soft and can be easily broken so x is metal while Y is anon metal .
