Brittle

Brittle materials are likely to break or snap suddenly when subjected to force, unlike ductile materials that can change shape. Although brittle materials can be tough, they fracture with rough edges when enough force is applied.

What is a key characteristic of brittle materials when force is applied?

• They snap or break suddenly.

• They expand.

• They bend easily.

• They melt.

How do ductile materials respond to applied force?

• They remain unchanged.

• They evaporate.

• They change shape.

• They shatter.

What happens to brittle materials when enough force is applied?

• They become ductile.

• They fracture with smooth edges.

• They dissolve.

• They fracture with rough edges.

Which of the following is NOT a property of brittle materials?

• They can be very tough.

• They fracture with rough edges.

• They are likely to snap suddenly.

• They can undergo significant shape change.

What is the main difference between brittle and ductile materials?

• Brittle materials can change shape easily.

• Ductile materials are likely to snap suddenly.

• Ductile materials can undergo shape change.

• Brittle materials fracture with rough edges.
