No. A lot of metals are quite ductile, such as aluminium, tin, copper silver, gold - even some steels can be made to be quite ductile by adding other metals or by changing the speed at which it is cooled.
Brittleness is a property that is characteristic of many nonmetals and few metals. Metals are typically malleable and ductile, able to be bent and stretched without breaking, whereas nonmetals are often brittle and prone to shattering when subjected to force.
Selenium is the most brittle of the elements listed: The others are all full metals, but selenium is only a semi-metal or a metalloid, and ductility, the negative of brittleness, is a property primarily of metals.
A yellow brittle solid is most likely a non-metal. Metals are typically solid at room temperature, but they are usually malleable and ductile, rather than brittle. Non-metals, on the other hand, can be brittle in nature.
they are NOT good conductors of heat and they are brittle solids.
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.
Most metals are not brittle.

Selenium is the only brittle element among the four listed: The others are all metals, with the usual ductility of metals, but selenium is only a metalloid at most.
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.

Platinum is not the most ductile of the metals. Gold is the metal that is most ductile of the metals. In order of most ductile metals, the top three on the list are gold, silver, and platinum.

yes,nonmetals are brittle and cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets +++ Not at all. Synthetic plastics are non-metals, and while some are indeed brittle others are, well, plastic by the true definition of that term! Clay is a natural plastic, and not considered a metal although the clay-forming minerals include complex compounds of metals. Wood is not metallic - but that's not brittle unless dried completely.

Yes, brittleness is a physical property of some metals. Brittle metals tend to fracture or break without significant deformation when subjected to stress. This is in contrast to ductile metals that can be bent or stretched without breaking.
