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.
What else can I help you with?
Why do you think that nonmetals are brittle?

Do nonmetals crack?
Yes, in solid form nonmetals tend to be brittle, however, several nonmetals are gasses and one, bromine, is a liquid.
Do any nonmetals shatter when struck?
Yes, some nonmetals can shatter when struck, particularly those that are brittle in nature. For example, solid forms of sulfur and phosphorus can break or shatter under impact due to their molecular structures. Unlike metals, which are typically ductile and malleable, brittle nonmetals lack the ability to deform without breaking.
Which type of elements are often dull brittle and poor conductors?
Nonmetals are often dull, brittle, and poor conductors of heat and electricity. Unlike metals, which are typically shiny and malleable, nonmetals tend to have a dull appearance and can break easily when subjected to stress. Common examples of nonmetals include sulfur, phosphorus, and carbon in certain forms.
What property of nonmetals is the opposite of being malleable and ductile?
Harb
Are all non-metals brittle?
No, all nonmetals are not brittle. Oxygen,Hydrogen,Nitrogen etc. are some of the nonmetals that occurs in gaseous form.

Do nonmetals crack?

Elements that are brittle and dull are?
Elements that are brittle and dull are likely to be nonmetals. Nonmetals tend to have brittle, dull properties compared to metals which are typically malleable and lustrous. Examples of brittle and dull elements include carbon in the form of graphite and sulfur.
What physical and chemical properties are among the nonmetals?
Most nonmetals are poor conductions of electricity and heat and are reactive with other elements. Solid nonmetals are dull and brittle.
Why is charcoal brittle?
Many nonmetals are brittle and Carbon is a non metal. Charcoal is a carbon compound so charcoal is brittle having the physical property of carbon.
Name two physical properties of nonmetals?
Well, nonmetals are opaque and brittle. They are also bad conductors of heat and electricity.
What is an element that is brittle and a poor conductor?
Nonmetals are elements that are brittle and dull.
What nonmetals in the solid state are poor conductors of heat tend to?
Nonmetals in the solid state tend to be brittle and poor conductors of heat.
Mettaloids have properties of both metals and?
Metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals. They can conduct electricity like metals but are brittle like nonmetals. Some examples of metalloids are silicon and germanium.
