No, sulfur does not shatter when it is hit like glass or ceramics. It is a brittle solid, but it tends to deform rather than shatter upon impact.

What is a sentence with the word shatter?

If you drop the glass, it will shatter. The mirror was going to shatter when it hit the floor after falling from the table.


What is the tensile strength of sulfur?

Sulfur does not have a well-defined tensile strength as it is a brittle material, meaning it tends to break or shatter rather than deform under tension.


Kept dropping everything Things would fall from your hands hit the floor and shatter?

if you truly love something you will let it go and watch it shatter


Is sulfur elastic?

Sulfur is not typically considered elastic because it is a brittle material at room temperature. It can break or shatter when subjected to stress rather than deforming and returning to its original shape like an elastic material would.


How would you classify an element and where would you expect to find a element that is a dim yellow solid at room temperature which shatters when hit with a hammer?

Based on the given properties, the element could be classified as a nonmetal, possibly sulfur. Sulfur is a solid at room temperature, has a yellow color, and is brittle enough to shatter when hit with a hammer. It is commonly found in nature near volcanic areas or near hot springs.


Is the gold on the sidewalk real?

If you hit it with a hammer, and it doesn't shatter but rather flattens, then yeah, it is real.


Will gold shatter if it is hit hard with a hammer?

Gold is a very malleable metal, so hitting it with a hammer is unlikely to shatter it. Instead, it would deform and flatten under the force. If hit hard enough, it may create cracks or break if in a brittle form.


Will a diamond shatter if hit with a hammer?

A diamond can shatter if hit with a hammer. While diamond is the hardest naturally-occurring mineral known, it is also brittle. The hardness means that it is difficult to cut, but the brittleness means that it is likely to splinter or shatter if enough pressure is exerted. In the case of a diamond hit with a hammer, the likelihood that the diamond will shatter will increase with the force of the hammer (based mostly on the weight) and will further increase if the diamond has any significant inclusions (indicated by a flaw in the diamond). Given the value of a diamond, it is highly recommended that you do not try this at home.


Why does silly putty shatter?

Silly putty is normally kept in a sealed container, if the silly putty has been left out and allowed to dry out completely then it is likely to shatter if dropped or hit with a heavy implement, such as a hammer.


Does Cubic Zirconia shatter or spark when hit with a hammer?

If you want spark when you hit something with a hammer, you should hit metal, preferably steel. That should give you the result you want.


Does aluminum shatter or bend when hit with a hammer?

Aluminum tends to bend rather than shatter when hit with a hammer due to its malleability. The metal is softer and more ductile compared to brittle materials like glass or ceramics, allowing it to deform and change shape instead of breaking into pieces.


Is the rear window on a car tempered glass?

Yes, and it will shatter into millions of pieces if hit by a softball (personal experience).
