∙ 12y agoit depends on the layout of the structure... take graphite for example.. its a form of carbon but is very brittle... but dymonds ar also carbon and have a completely different stucture.. dymonds are not brittle... carbon is non metal.... metals can be brittle aswell... especially is they are heated and cooled quickly
