Which is not a characteristic of most metals brittle good conductor ductile malleable?
Most metals are not brittle.
What earth layers does the lithosphere consist of?
The lithosphere is composed of the crust and uppermost hard, brittle mantle.
Will liquid nitrogen make alumina products brittle?
Yes, it can. Liquid nitrogen will make most things brittle!
What are layers of rock?
When dirt gets into layers and then it hardens and becomes hard like a rock.
What part of the earth behaves like a brittle solid?
The crust and the upper part of the mantle are the solid part of the Earth called the lithosphere.
Ionic compounds are brittle because the strong attractive forces?
hold the layers in relatively fixed positions
Which is not a characteristic of most metals brittle good conductor ductile malleable?
Most metals are not brittle.
Is the crust and the mantle brittle or is the crust and lithosphere brittle?
In order to answer this you need to understand the difference between the compositional layers of the earth and the physical layers. The crust and mantle are differing layers of the earth based on chemical composition. The lithosphere is a layer of the earth defined based on it's physical or mechanical properties (how it deforms). The lithosphere is composed of the crust and the portion of the upper mantle which deforms elastically and fails in a brittle manner (fractures can propagate through the material). So in the question where you ask is the crust and lithosphere brittle, the answer is yes as the crust is entirely part of the lithosphere which by definition is brittle. However as described above, a section of the upper mantle is also a brittle solid and so that too is part of the lithosphere. However below this, the mantle behaves as a ductile solid.
Which layers of the earth contains rocks?
The lithosphere is where the brittle rock resides. Most of the rock of the mantle is ductile, yet solid.
What earth layers does the lithosphere consist of?
The lithosphere is composed of the crust and uppermost hard, brittle mantle.
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 a non metal?
metals
Will liquid nitrogen make alumina products brittle?
Yes, it can. Liquid nitrogen will make most things brittle!
What are layers of rock?
When dirt gets into layers and then it hardens and becomes hard like a rock.
Are brittle stars asexual or sexual?
Some brittle stars breed asexually. Most brittle stars are either male or female however some species are hermaphroditic.
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.
