hard and brittle so YES
Many nonmetals are brittle and Carbon is a non metal. Charcoal is a carbon compound so charcoal is brittle having the physical property of carbon.
hard and brittle so YES
While carbon can be very hard, it is not necessarily brittle. The properties of carbon can vary depending on its structure and form. For example, diamond is a form of carbon that is both extremely hard and strong, while graphite is another form of carbon that is soft and brittle.
it 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
metals
If titanium has too much carbon in it, the material can become brittle and lose some of its desirable properties such as corrosion resistance and strength. Excess carbon can form carbides in titanium, leading to decreased ductility and potentially causing structural failures.
Carbon Steel - Martensite
Iron from the blast furnace is brittle because of its high carbon content. This carbon content forms brittle compounds like cementite in the iron, which weakens its ability to deform plastically and makes it prone to fracture under stress.
It will be lowered with the result that the steel becomes more brittle.
Some brittle materials are cast iron, concrete, high carbon steels, ceramics and glass. A brittle material is easily shattered and has little resistance against fracture.
carbon (exists as CO2)
No, carbon is not malleable. Pick a form, hit with a hammer, and it won't "flatten out" like, say, gold. Carbon in the form of graphite or diamond won't do well when struck.
