What does brittleness in non-metals mean?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Breaking when hammered

Brittleness means that a substance breaks on hammering or applying pressure instead of undergoing significant deformation. Most solid non-metals, such as sulphur, are brittle. Option B describes ductility, while option C describes malleability; these properties are generally associated with metals. Exam tip: remember brittleness for non-metals and ductility/malleability for metals.
