Which consequence results when rapid cooling forces amorphous solidification?

💡 Explanation

Increased brittleness occurs because vitrification traps a disordered atomic structure through kinetic constraints, suppressing crystallization via glass transition; therefore, brittle fracture risk rises, rather than improved ductility or enhanced diffusion because atoms lack crystalline order.
