- Brittleness: Brittleness is a property of a material that makes it prone to breaking or shattering when subjected to stress or force. Brittle materials do not deform significantly before fracturing.
- Ductility: Ductility is the ability of a material to deform under tensile stress (stretching) without breaking. Ductile materials can be drawn into wires or hammered into thin sheets without fracturing.
- Hardness: Hardness is a measure of a material's resistance to deformation, scratching, or abrasion. Hard materials are able to withstand wear and tear and maintain their shape under pressure.
- Elasticity: Elasticity is the ability of a material to return to its original shape after being deformed by an external force. Elastic materials can stretch or compress and then bounce back to their original form.
- Malleability: Malleability is the ability of a material to be hammered, rolled, or pressed into thin sheets or shapes without breaking. Malleable materials can be easily shaped or formed without cracking or fracturing.

Brittleness: - The inability of a material to withstand deformation under stress and fracture without showing any plastic deformation (stretching). - Brittle materials break or shatter easily, with little bending or stretching. - Examples: glass, ceramics, cast iron
Ductility: - The ability of a material to undergo large plastic deformation before fracture. - Ductile materials bend or stretch significantly without breaking. - Examples: copper, aluminum, steel
Hardness: - The resistance of a material to surface deformation or penetration. - Hard materials are difficult to scratch or indent. - Examples: diamond, tungsten, sapphire
Elasticity: - The ability of a material to return to its original shape after being deformed. - Elastic materials store energy when deformed and release it when the force is removed. - Examples: rubber, springs, steel
Malleability: - The ability of a material to be flattened into thin sheets by hammering or rolling. - Malleable materials are soft and can be easily shaped. - Examples: gold, silver, lead
