a nonmetal because a metal is shiny and strong so a nonmetal is brittle and dull


What are elements that are very brittle and have no metallic luster called?

Elements that are very brittle and have no metallic luster are typically classified as nonmetals. Examples include sulfur, phosphorus, and carbon (in the form of graphite). These elements tend to be poor conductors of heat and electricity.


Is phosphorus a metal nonmetal or metalloid?

Phosphorus is a non-metal. because It has Non - metal properties Like it is Brittle non lustrous etc .


Is phosphorus malleable?

Phosphorus is not very malleable as it is a nonmetal


Can phosphorus be hammered into shape?

No, phosphorus is brittle and cannot be hammered into shape like metals. It is a non-metal element that is usually found in a solid state with a waxy appearance, and attempts to hammer it would likely result in it breaking or crumbling.


What Sulfur oxygen phosphorus and fluorine are all examples of?

Sulfur, oxygen, phosphorus, and fluorine are all examples of nonmetals on the periodic table. They tend to have properties like being brittle, poor conductors of heat and electricity, and having lower melting and boiling points compared to metals.


What is an element that is brittle and a poor conductor?

Nonmetals are elements that are brittle and dull.


Purpose of adding phosphorus to steel?

phosphorous might add increased atmospheric corrosion resistance, however, it may be more prone to stress corrosion cracking because of the increased hardness. In general phosphorous adds strength, but reduces ductility / makes the steel more brittle; in amounts less than 0.30% it has little effect on the weldability of low-carbon steel.


What are the effects of sulfur and phosphorus in steel?

Sulfur decreases ductility and notch impact toughness especially in the transverse direction. Weldability decreases with increasing sulfur content. Sulfur is found primarily in the form of sulfide inclusions. Sulfur levels are normally controlled to low levels. The only exception is free-machining steels, where sulfur is added to improve machinability.

What is the form of phosphorus?

Phosphorus is a solid. There are various forms, allotropes of phosphorus:-White phosphorus consisting of P4 molecules - most familiar formRed phosphorus with chain structureViolet phosphorus with a complex layer structureBlack phosphorus a metallic looking substance with a layer structure


What are some elements in peanut brittle?

Like other matter of biological origin, peanut brittle is composed primarily of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen. Other elements present in small amounts ( based on the nutritional information of peanuts) include calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc. Some sulfur may also be present in the amino acids.
