How to use "Brittleness" in context?
There is no single answer to the question of what makes metals brittle. It is a complex mixture of properties that depend on the metal's atomic structure, crystal structure, and surface finish.
Some common factors that contribute to metal brittleness are:
1. High surface energy. This means that the surface of the metal has a lot of energy and tends to spread out and break away from the metal core.
2. Low ductility. This is a measure of how easily the metal can be shaped by bending or stretching. Low ductility metal tend to break easily when stressed.
3. High discontinuity.
