What are the physical properties of metal and non-metal?
metal- shiny non-metal- dull
Why does metal become more brittle after being heated then cooled?
Not all metals do, and it depends on the rate at which the metal is cooled. Basically, in some metals the crystal pattern in the metal changes when heated- and if rapidly cooled, that pattern is sort of "locked in" to the metal. If that locked in pattern is harder or more brittle than the earlier state, the metal has become more brittle. However, heating and then SLOW cooling can make some metals less brittle- it is called annealing.
Is brittle a physical property of metal?
some metals (cast iron for example) are brittle- it is a physical property
What metal has the melting point of 32F?
No metal has a melting point of 32F.
Is a tin a brittle non-metal?
No, tin is a pliable metal

What material is best for the in ground vinyl pool walls polymer or metal?
Polymer. Metal rusts, polymer can't.
Is brittle metal or non-metal?
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.
What are some properties that metals have that non metal don't have?
Metals are malleable (can be shaped and formed), conductable (electricity), and have high melting points. Nonmetals are brittle, cannot conduct electricity, and have very low melting points.

Does freezing rain make metal brittle?
No, freezing rain has no effect on metal itself. It may appear brittle because ice is obviously brittle. But you can smash the ice off and the metal will be fine.
Is nylon a metal?
Nylon is a synthetic polymer. It contains no metal.
What metal has the melting point of 32F?
No metal has a melting point of 32F.
What is the difference between metal melting and metal smelting?
Smelting extracts a metal from its ore. Melting liquifies the metal.
Is brittle a metal or a non metal?

Is a tin a brittle non-metal?
