Is carbon brittle as it is hard?
While carbon can be very hard, it is not necessarily brittle. The properties of carbon can vary depending on its structure and form. For example, diamond is a form of carbon that is both extremely hard and strong, while graphite is another form of carbon that is soft and brittle.
Is germanium malleable?
no, it is very brittle
What is a very weak type of bond?
It's a bond that is relatively easily broken, compared to other bonds.
Why does a flower become brittle and hard when submerged into liquid nitrogen?
When a flower is submerged into liquid nitrogen, the extreme cold causes the water inside the flower's cells to freeze rapidly. This rapid freezing creates ice crystals that disrupt the cell structure, making the flower brittle and hard when it thaws out.
Is osmium malleable?
No, osmium is a very hard and brittle metal, not malleable. It has a very high density and is resistant to corrosion, making it useful for certain industrial applications such as in electrical contacts and pen nibs.
Difference between hardness and brittleness?
Hardness is the question of how difficult it is to make an impression on a substance. Brittleness is the question of how easy it is to break. Granite is a stone which is very hard but not brittle--it is hard to carve and also hard to break. A plank of wood is not as hard as stone but is not very brittle. You can carve on it with a knife but it won't shatter if you drop it. Glass is hard and brittle. Chalk is not hard but it is brittle.
What type of symmetry does a brittle star have?
They are very brittle and they can get up to a very bright temperature
Is carbon brittle as it is hard?
While carbon can be very hard, it is not necessarily brittle. The properties of carbon can vary depending on its structure and form. For example, diamond is a form of carbon that is both extremely hard and strong, while graphite is another form of carbon that is soft and brittle.
What are the disadvantages of high speed steel?
When it is heated, it becomes very brittle....And it is very hard to work.
Can baked clay be recyled?
No, baked clay can't be recycled because it becomes very hard when baked, and it is very brittle to recycle it after.
Is iridium solid liqulid or gas?
Iridiumis a very hard/brittle metal with the atomic number 77.
What type of bond is a junk bond?
A junk bond is one which is of very high risk. This type of bond will mean that a person may never get the money back which they invest into the bond itself.
What are the internal characteristics of a Brittle Star?
They are very brittle and they can get up to a very bright temperature
What type of chemical bond causes a substance to have a very high melting point?
an ionic bond
Why do you heat treat?
You heat treat to improve the molecular structure of the steel. In the untreated state steel is very soft and is relatively easy to bend but when hardened the steel become very hard and brittle. The steel is so brittle after hardening that if say dropped on a concrete floor it may shatter. Tempering relieves some of this stress and makes the steel hard but not too hard.
Is germanium malleable?
no, it is very brittle
What is happens when you use portland cement straight?
Assuming you use only just enough mater, it sets very hard but brittle.
