Are metalloids unmalleable?
Metalloids are all malleable, but some are more malleable than others. Some have a brittle crystalline structure that prevent them from being malleable enough for many practical applications.
Why is cast iron more brittle than mild iron?
Brittle because it contains impurities such as carbon and sulfur. The structure of the molecules in iron, particularly when cast, is such that it is almost crystalline in nature and breaks easily. The addition of carbon and other metals into the mix gives you more malleable compounds that are less brittle and can convert it to what we refer to as steel.
Is aluminum a crystalline or amorphous solid?

Is Magnesium malleable or Brittle?
is magnesium brittle or can it be bent and shaped?
Why is antimony a metalloid?
Antimony is a metalloid because it possesses qualities of metals and non-metals such as: a hard, extremely brittle, lustrous, silver-white, crystalline material.
Are things made of ionic bonds soft?
ionic substances tend to be crystalline and brittle- although they are often encounterd as fine powders so these physical characteristics are not apparent
Is bromine pliable?
Bromine is a liquid at room temperature. Cooled below its freezing point, bromine would probably be a brittle crystalline solid much like iodine.
Antimony is like a nonmetal in that it is a brittle crystalline solid has poor electrical and heat conductivity and has a low boiling point However it is also like a metal because of its shiny?
Metalloids
Where do you find boron's?
A boron is brown colored, soft-brittle, and is either amorphous or crystalline. It can also be red or gray color too depending on its form. It is mainly removed from borax or kernite.
