Nonmetals are typically not ductile; they are more often brittle and prone to breaking or shattering when subjected to stress. Ductility is a property associated with metals, which allows them to be stretched into wires without breaking. However, some nonmetals, like certain polymers or carbon allotropes (e.g., graphite), can exhibit flexible properties, but this is not the same as ductility in metals. Overall, true ductility is not a characteristic of most nonmetals.

Is ductile a nonmetal?
it is rubbish stuff i invented it lol ****
What property of nonmetal is the opposite of being malleable and ductile?
Harb
Is fluorine ductile?
The fluorine (the element, F) is a gas; no ductility.
Is ytterbium a metal or nonmetal?
Ytterbium is a metal. It is a soft, malleable, and ductile element that belongs to the lanthanide series of the periodic table.
Which is NOT a property of a nonmetal?
Non-metals are not ductile or malleable. Also, they are not lustrous apart from one exception. They gain electrons or share them in general to from compounds.
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 ductile sulfur?
Rombic sulfur is not ductile . It's more like it is brittle and crumbly. Rombic sulfur is the element in crystallized form, when broken, it turns into a kind of chunky dust. Amorf sulfur is the other, NOT cristalized form: it is a fine powder like milled wheat
Is neon a ductile?
Neon is a gas and so isn't what we'd generally call malleable except that we can confine it to tubes - usually glass - which may be shaped in certain ways.
Identify a nonmetal and why is it classified as a nonmetal?
Oxygen is a nonmetal because it lacks the physical and chemical properties of metals. Nonmetals typically do not conduct electricity, are brittle, and have low melting points. Oxygen also tends to gain electrons in chemical reactions, a characteristic of nonmetals.
What shiny ductile solid at room temperature Which of the elements best fits the description Hint Look at your periodic table. helium (He) magnesium (Mg) carbon (C) sulfur (S)?
It would be the metal magnesium. Metals have luster (are shiny) and are ductile and malleable. The other elements listed are a gas (He), and the solid nonmetal carbon.
Is malleable metal nonmetal or metalled?
Malleable is a characteristic of metals as is being ductile and sonorous.Malleable means being able to be beaten into a shape. Ductile means being able to be drawn into wires. Sonorous means ringing like a bell when struck.Metals also conduct electricity and heat.
What is a physical property of a nonmetal?
In general they are poor conductors of heat and electricity. They tend to be Brittle - if a solid. They are usually Non-ductile unlike metals which are. They tend not to be lustrous May be Solids, liquids or gases at room temperature.
