Some nonmetals (black P, S, and Se) are brittle solids at room temperature (although each of these also have malleable, pliable or ductile allotropes). From left to right in the periodic table, the nonmetals can be divided into the reactive nonmetals and the noble gases. The reactive nonmetals near the metalloids show some incipient metallic ...
Liquid bromine. Bromine is a deep brown diatomic liquid that is quite reactive, and has a liquid density of 3.1028 g/cm 3. It boils at 58.8 °C and solidifies at −7.3 °C to an orange crystalline solid (density 4.05 g/cm −3). It is the only element, apart from mercury, known to be a liquid at room temperature.
liquids (mercury, bromine) are either metallic or nonmetallic: mercury, as a good conductor, is a metal; bromine, with its poor conductivity, is a nonmetal; solids are either ductile and malleable, hard and brittle, or soft and crumbly: a. ductile and malleable elements are metals;
Bromine is a chemical element; it has symbol Br and atomic number 35. It is a volatile red-brown liquid at room temperature that evaporates readily to form a ...

The metal is hard and brittle at most temperatures but becomes malleable between 100 and 150 °C (212 and 302 °F). [9] [10] Above 210 °C (410 °F), the metal becomes brittle again and can be pulverized by beating. [15] Zinc is a fair conductor of electricity. [9]
Molecular solids can be either ductile or brittle, or a combination depending on the crystal face stressed. [5] [11] Both ductile and brittle solids undergo elastic deformation till they reach the yield stress. [8] [11] Once the yield stress is reached, ductile solids undergo a period of plastic deformation and eventually fracture. Brittle ...
Whether polonium is ductile or brittle is unclear. It is predicted to be ductile based on its calculated elastic constants. [457] It has a simple cubic crystalline structure. Such a structure has few slip systems and "leads to very low ductility and hence low fracture resistance". [458]
