Does copper break apart?

Copper is malleable, it can be bent and it will not break, but bending it back and forth too much may break it.


Is phosphorus malleable?

Phosphorus is not very malleable as it is a nonmetal


What is selenium's malleability?

Selenium is a brittle metalloid, not malleable like metals such as copper or gold. It can easily break, crumble, or be powdered under pressure instead of flattening or bending.


What is it called when your bones become weak and break apart easily?

osteoporosis


What rock has many layers and break apart easily?

Mica and shale


Is chalk malleable?

No, chalk is not malleable. It is a brittle material that can easily break or crumble under stress rather than deforming or bending. Malleability is a property typically associated with metals, allowing them to be shaped without breaking, which does not apply to chalk.


What is the difference between malleable and brittle?

brittle materials get break when subjected to stress but malleable do not.


Which is needed to hold matter together or break it apart?

Matter is quite difficult to break apart - as this requires dissociating the neutrons, protons and electrons. But at sufficiently high energies, it can be done. As in Super nova. Or in a linear accelerator.


Why is copper malleable?

Copper is malleable because its metallic bonds allow its atoms to move easily past each other without breaking. This means that when force is applied to copper, its atoms can rearrange without causing the material to crack or break.


What property of non metals is the opposite of being malleable and ductile?

The property of nonmetals that is the opposite of being malleable and ductile is brittleness. Unlike metals, which can be easily shaped and stretched without breaking, nonmetals tend to shatter or break when subjected to stress. This characteristic makes them rigid and less flexible compared to malleable and ductile materials.


Can magnesium easily bend?

Elements in Group I and II can easily bend, but cannot breakdown easily. So as Mg is in Group II, it can bend easily but does not break easily.


Which is most likely to shatter bronze or sodium chloride?

Sodium chloride is more likely to shatter because it is a crystalline structure that can break apart easily under pressure. Bronze, being a metal alloy, is more malleable and can deform rather than shatter under similar conditions.
