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.
