Nonmetals
Common minerals that meet these criteria include gypsum, fluorite, and talc. These minerals are generally dull in luster, not malleable or ductile, and are non-conductive of electricity.
Malleability is a property of metals, not nonmetals. Metals are malleable, meaning they can be hammered or pressed into different shapes without breaking. Nonmetals are typically brittle and cannot be molded in the same way.
The property of nonmetals that is the opposite of being malleable and ductile is brittleness. Unlike metals, which can be easily shaped and stretched without breaking, nonmetals tend to shatter or break when subjected to stress. This characteristic makes them rigid and less flexible compared to malleable and ductile materials.
Yes, metalloids are ductile they are also malleable, but is not shiny.
Non metals are brittle. They are neither malleable nor ductile.
Malleable substances can be hammered into a thin sheet. This is a characteristic of all metals in the solid phase. In contrast nonmetals are brittle in the solid phase. If you take a piece of sulfur and whack it with a hammer a few times you will turn it into sulfur powder not a thin sheet of sulfur.
