- 7.Why are ionic compounds brittle?
- A.
Because they're solids.
- B.
Because when something hits it, a layer of ions is pushed so that they are next to ions of the same charge. They are repulsed by each other and break.
- C.
Because they're not strong bonds.
- D.
Because when something hits it, a layer of ions is pushed so that they are next to ions of the same charge. They are attracted to each other and break.
