It varies with the temperature. Glass is brittle at room temperature but becomes soft at high temperature. Glass also does not crystallize so it is considered a liquid even when cool. Spaghetti is brittle when dry but softens as water is absorbed.

Which is not a characteristic of most metals brittle good conductor ductile malleable?
Most metals are not brittle.
Will liquid nitrogen make alumina products brittle?
Yes, it can. Liquid nitrogen will make most things brittle!
What does it mean if something is brittle?
: Separation of a solid accompanied by little or no macroscopic plastic deformation. Typically, brittle fracture occurs by rapid crack propagation with less expenditure of energy than for ductile fracture. :
Is glass is to brittle as frail is to weak?
Yes, Glass is softer than diamond. Diamond is the hardest known substance! Diamond is number 10 on the Mohs scale, and is 40 times harder than Corundum, which is number 9 on the Moh's scale (and the next hardest natural substance). It also has the most dense atomical configuration of any minerals.
Is the crust brittle?

Can diamond break obsidian?

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.
Brittle metal or nonmetal?

Are brittle stars asexual or sexual?

Difference between hardness and brittleness?
Hardness is the question of how difficult it is to make an impression on a substance. Brittleness is the question of how easy it is to break. Granite is a stone which is very hard but not brittle--it is hard to carve and also hard to break. A plank of wood is not as hard as stone but is not very brittle. You can carve on it with a knife but it won't shatter if you drop it. Glass is hard and brittle. Chalk is not hard but it is brittle.
What is the most brittle material?
gold in its purest form
A characteristic of most nonmetallic solids is that they are?
they are NOT good conductors of heat and they are brittle solids.
