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.
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.
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.
erosion can break rocks apart, weathering can also break rocks apart
These are the properties of metals. Malleable means the element can be made into thin sheets. Brittle means it can easily break under pressure like glass. Lusture means the element is shiny. It will conduct heat and electricity probably good.
Copper is malleable, it can be bent and it will not break, but bending it back and forth too much may break it.
Phosphorus is not very malleable as it is a nonmetal

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

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.
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.
