Mention Six Differences Between Metals and Ceramics - Yahoo Answers

The document lists several key differences between metals and ceramics: 1. Ceramics have very high melting points while metals have lower melting points. 2. Ceramics are more heat and corrosion resistant than metals. 3. Atoms in ceramics are held together by covalent or ionic bonds which are stronger than metallic bonds in metals, making ceramics brittle and metals ductile. 4. Metals tend to deform plastically before fracturing while ceramics fracture catastrophically without deformation.
