Is copper malleable or brittle?
Copper is very malleable.
What is the problem with using low-grade ores as a copper source?
The metal (copper) extracted may be generally brittle and break easily.
Which is most likely to shatter bronze or sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride- ionic solids tend to be brittle and shatter, bronze is an alloy of copper and tin and metals and alloys are malleable.
Is wood ductile or brittle?
Brittle
Is kevlar brittle?

What is the diffrince between ''brass''and ''bronze''?
Brass is an alloy of copper and nickel. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin. Bronze tends to be more brittle.
Why copper is used to wires?
Copper has very high electrical conductivity, low resistance, good tensile strength and ductility, and is normally not brittle. Other materials with higher conductivity are either too expensive (like gold) or too brittle to be good candidates for wire.
Who is the Non ductile metals?
Cast iron, is one example of a non-ductile metal. Unlike ductile metals, copper, steel, aluminium - cast iron is too brittle to be reworked.
What is the body of aeroplane made of?
An aeroplane body is made up of an alloy (meaning: mixture of metals) of aluminium and copper. This is as aluminium is very light and cheap, but it needs copper as aluminium is too brittle. This way the plane have a weight of aluminium but the felexibility of copper!
Why is the copper produced by reduction not used for electrical conductors before it is purified?
Becasue it is too brittle and would break when its bent or twisted
Why was pig iron brittle?
It is a poor material because it is very brittle. This is caused by its high carbon content. It is a poor material because it is very brittle. This is caused by its high carbon content.

What is the opposite of hard that starts with the letters 'br'?
brittle
Is copper pure metal or alloy?
An alloy is a mixture of two or more elements where the main component is metal. Copper is a pure metal. Alloys are useful because most pure metals are too soft, brittle, or reactive for practical use.
