depends on if they are a solid or gas or liquid. If solid then yes, usually the non metal solids are brittle.

Ionically bonded compounds tend to be brittle?
they are very brittle.
What are elements that are very brittle and have no metallic luster called?
The elements that are very brittle and have no metallic luster are called non metals. For example- Sulphur, Phosphorus and Graphite.
When struck with a sharp blow ionic compounds tend to what while metallic substances which are what change shape?
"When struck with a sharp blow, ionic compounds tend to (crack) while metallic substances, which are (covalently bonded), change shape."This makes the most sense. A lot of ionic compounds form salts which are crystalline and brittle in solid form. This is obviously homework but what a terrible question, right down to the punctuation.
Are ionic compounds often brittle?
YES(:
Ionic compounds are always what?
Netural and brittle

Which is a property of most nonmetalic solids?
Brittleness. Reason: Non-metallic solids are usually brittle.
Is non metallic solids brittle?
They tend to be, yes
What are compounds always?
Netural and brittle
Is phosphate metallic or non metallic?
Phosphates are chemical compounds.
Metal compounds made of two or more metallic elements are known as?
Metal compounds made of two or more metallic elements are usually called ALLOYS. However, there are true compounds and these are often known simply as inter-metallic compounds.

Is organic chemistry the chemistry of metallic compound?
No, it is the chemistry of carbon compounds but some organo metallic compounds also exist.
Does the substance being hit in the photo below contain ionic or metallic bonds.Explain your answer?
Ionic because ionic compounds tend to be brittle solids at room temperature and usually break apart when hit with a hammer.
