Usually nonmetal, if all of them are compared as solids, because nonmetals have weaker intermolecular bonds.

Which category of element would not be a good choice for making a container that can be dropped without shattering?

The category of element that would not be a good choice for making a container that can be dropped without shattering is a metalloid. For example, tellurium is shiny, but it is also brittle and is easily smashed into a powder.


What category of element would be the least appropriate choice for making a container that can be dropped without shattering?

A brittle element like a nonmetal or metalloid would be least appropriate for making a container that can be dropped without shattering. These elements tend to be more prone to breaking under stress compared to ductile metals, which can deform without shattering. Materials like glass and ceramics, which are often made from nonmetals or metalloids, would be poor choices for a drop-resistant container.


A measure of a material's tendency to shatter upon impact?

The only materials which shatter on impact are polymers, glass and fibred materials such as wood, though these to a much lesser extent. The measure of a material's tendency to shatter is the crystallinity of the chains or fibres used to make it up.Crystallinity is the proportion of crystalline regions, where the chains or fibres are lined up in a regular pattern and so are brittle, over the whole substance. The other type of region is an amorphous region, where the chains or fibres are aligned randomly.A material is more likely to shatter at lower temperatures. There is a certain temperature, referred to as Tg, below which a material is brittle, or glassy and cannot bend at all.


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.
