No. A lot of metals are quite ductile, such as aluminium, tin, copper silver, gold - even some steels can be made to be quite ductile by adding other metals or by changing the speed at which it is cooled.

A characteristic of most nonmetallic solids is that they are?
they are NOT good conductors of heat and they are brittle solids.
Are metallic compounds brittle?
depends on if they are a solid or gas or liquid. If solid then yes, usually the non metal solids are brittle.
Which element is likely to be the most brittle out of selenium cobalt platinum or zinc?
Selenium is the most brittle of the elements listed: The others are all full metals, but selenium is only a semi-metal or a metalloid, and ductility, the negative of brittleness, is a property primarily of metals.
How do metals differ from nonmetals?
Metals usually have characteristic(s) of at least one of the following: luster, shine, malleable, ductile, and conducts electricity. Non metals don't conduct electricity and are usually brittle.
Is non-metal dull?
Non-metals are dull (or they are not shiny as metals).
Which is not a characteristic of most metals brittle good conductor ductile malleable?
Most metals are not brittle.
Is brittle a metal or a non metal?

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.
Is brittle a metal or non metals?
metals
Is palladium a brittle or ductile?
Platinum is not the most ductile of the metals. Gold is the metal that is most ductile of the metals. In order of most ductile metals, the top three on the list are gold, silver, and platinum.

Which one of the following is brittle sodium aluminium selenium or magnesium?
Selenium is the only brittle element among the four listed: The others are all metals, with the usual ductility of metals, but selenium is only a metalloid at most.

Metals usually have characteristic(s) of at least one of the following: luster, shine, malleable, ductile, and conducts electricity. Non metals don't conduct electricity and are usually brittle.
Is non-metal dull?
Non-metals are dull (or they are not shiny as metals).
Brittle metal or nonmetal?
Brittle is an attribute or property of a substance. It is the property of the substance shattering or breaking due to an impact. Consequently some metals are brittle as are some non-metals.
