A brittle material fractures without haven a large strain on beforehand. Examples are most ceramics, of extremely hard steel.
The opposite is ductile.
Brittle can be a material. The definition can be: hard but easily broken.
A brittle material is any material that fails or breaks whithout any observed yielding when a deformating stress is applied.
a brittle is something that breaks easily with out more opposition like bones for instance..

A material will be graded as brittle when it breaks with only a small amount of strain. Its brittleness is based on the amount of deformation used to break the material.
Brittle materials such as ceramics do not have a yield point. For these materials the rupture strength and the ultimate strength are the same, therefore the stress-strain curve would consist of only the elastic region, followed by a failure of the material.
Glass is an example of an amorphous solid or non-crystalline material. Glass is typically characterized to be brittle and optically transparent.

A rock may be brittle.
There are two.
Very ductile material will often smear rather than cut during machining operations. Less ductile material (more brittle) will cut more easily.
It will break or fail. The type of failure will depend on how brittle/ductile it is. Brittle material will break cleanly, while ductile material will deform to varying degrees.

Brittle is neither a metal or nonmetal, it is a physical property of materials.Brittle is a property of a material. Most metals are not brittle but ductile and maleable.
The lithosphere is brittle. A brittle material is one that loses cohesion when it fails allowing fractures to propagate through the material. The lithosphere is brittle because it is at too low a temperature and pressure to fail or deform in a ductile manner.
