Question

The particles of a salt strongly attract each other into an orderly arrangement.

  1. True
  2. False

hintHint:

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'.


    • 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.
