Question
Salts are usually hard and brittle.
- True
- False
Hint:
Ionic compounds are brittle due to the strong bond between the positive and negative ions that make up the molecules.
The correct answer is 'True'.
- Ionic compounds are brittle due to the strong bond between the positive and negative ions that make up the molecules.
- These positive and negative bonds create crystals in rigid, lattice structures. Applying pressure shifts the alignment of the ions and results in brittleness.
- It takes a lot of energy to break them apart from each other.
