Plastics can be designed to be very brittle or very tough and flexible. Polymethyl methacrylate is quite brittle for example.
Brittleness is an intensive property.
Brittleness isn't a material, it's a characteristics.
Brittleness means the property of snapping easily when a force is applied.
Brittleness is a property of an ionic compound
Reference ASTM D746 - 07. This applies to Brittleness testing of elastomers and plastics.

Yes. it is
Brittleness is considered a physical change. It is a change that can be felt, and interacting with it does nothing to change it into something else.

the hardness of iron decreases with increase in brittleness in general..however when the temp is increased, the elasticity increases and the brittleness reduces, it continues to show the increasing trend in hardness until a transition temperature, after which the hardness starts decreasing again.
Brittleness. Reason: Non-metallic solids are usually brittle.
