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.
