What category of elements would you choose to make container that wouldn't shatter if dropped during a test?

A metal will not shatter if dropped becuase a nonmetal can be anything, so, if you drop a metal, there is no possible way it can break.


What solid would have the greatest tendency to shatter upon impact with a hammer metal metalloid or nonmetal?

A nonmetal would have the greatest tendency to shatter upon impact with a hammer, as nonmetals tend to be brittle and have weaker intermolecular forces holding their structure together compared to metals and metalloids. Metalloids and metals are typically more malleable and ductile, making them less likely to shatter upon impact.


Will materials made of bonds shatter when hit by hammer?

A hammer will shatter some things that are chemically bonded, and will not shatter others. Glass, ice and even diamonds can be "broken" with a hammer. They are solids and have the quality of being brittle to a lesser or greater degree. But other materials will definitely not shatter when struck by a hammer. If you struck a tire with a hammer, you'd be hitting it all day without shattering it. (But if you cryogenically cool the rubber and hammer it, it will shatter with ease.) Whether or not a material that is chemically bonded will shatter when struck by a hammer depends on the material. We need to note, however, that the hammer will not generally break the chemical bonds themselves when the material shatters. The hammer just breaks the macroscopic (perhaps crystalline) structure of the material.


Are nonmetals sonorous?

Nonmetals are generally not sonorous. Sonorous materials are those that produce a ringing sound when struck, and nonmetals lack the ability to produce such sound due to their physical properties. Metals are typically sonorous because they have free electrons that allow for vibrational energy to propagate easily.


Why aren't non metals strong?

We cannot determine if nonmetals are strong or not since they exist in any of the 3 states:solid,liquid,or gases. But generally,nonmetals are characterized that they are non-ductile. There are some nonmetals that are strong such as:wood and glass,and in the same time there are some nonmetals that are not as strong such as :coal which we can dismantle easily.

Do ionic compounds shatter when the crystals are struck?

Yes, ionic compounds tend to shatter when the crystals are struck because they have strong electrostatic forces holding the ions together in a regular lattice structure. When a force is applied to the crystal, these strong bonds are broken, causing the crystal to shatter into smaller pieces.


Are there any shatter resistant plate sets?

Behrenberg Company makes a shatter resistance plate set.


Do nonmetals shatter easily?

Nonmetals tend to be brittle and easily shatter when subjected to stress or pressure. This is because their atomic structure lacks the ability to bend or deform like metals, making them more prone to breaking into pieces when a force is applied.


Is diamond brittle?

Yes, diamond is brittle. Although it is extremely hard, diamond can shatter if struck with a heavy blow.


Does gold shatter if hit hard with a hammer?

No, gold is a malleable metal known for its ductility and ability to deform without breaking. While it can be dented or scratched, it will not shatter like more brittle materials such as glass or ceramics when struck with a hammer.


Does a spark plug shatter a window?

If it was thrown hard enough. Than again, pretty much any solid object can shatter a window if thrown hard enough...
