Best Answer

Brittle is an attribute or property of a substance.

It is the property of the substance shattering or breaking due to an impact.

Consequently some metals are brittle as are some non-metals.

Metals generally aren't brittle. The most common one you'd be familiar with is probably tin, which at temperatures below about 56 degrees Fahrenheit slowly changes to the grey tin alleotrope which is brittle (ordinary "white tin" is malleable).

Cast iron is notorious for being brittle. One example is when a plumber recently removed my old cast iron bath with a few thumps of a hammer. Once broken (easily) into pieces, the bath was much easier to remove.

Metals are not brittle, but nonmetals are. Metals are malleable and ductile, while nonmetals are not.
