They are shiny!

Yes, it is true.
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.
Ductile means that it can hammered thin or made into a wire. That pretty much excludes the possibility of being brittle. However, conducting heat or electricity is entirely different. It just so happens that metals are often ductile and the often conduct heat and electricity, but other materials are not ductile that do conduct electricity, and many of them are brittle. The physical properties (being ductile or brittle) do not necessarily determine the chemical properties (being conductive).
some metals (cast iron for example) are brittle- it is a physical property

A nonmetal is an element that tends to be dull, brittle, and a poor conductor of heat and electricity.

Element that is usually a gas or brittle solid at room temperature and is a poor conductor of heat and electricity are non metals. A metal is an element that has luster, is a good conductor of heat and electricity, is malleable, and is ductile
Oxygen and iodine are not conductive.
Solid metals are often shiny, ductile(can be pulled into wires), malleable(can be hammered into thin sheets), and good condutors of heat and electricity. Hope this helped!

im pretty sure that oxygen is a poor conducter of electricty because it is a gas and a nonmetal and i think it is a brittle solid at room temperature but im not sure.....hope i helped :)

Most metals are not brittle.
