This site can explain everything pertaining to the strengths of ceramics, first an excerpt then the site:

Abstract The key features of the processes underlying the failure of ceramics are considered for a wide temperature range. The brittleness and high-temperature plasticity of ceramics are correlated with their crystal chemistry. The general issues related to the strength of ceramics are treated in terms of synergetics, which deals with the spatiotemporal ordering and self-organization in nonequilibrium systems. The strength of ceramics is shown to be governed by its structure on different scales-from atomic to macroscopic. The conclusion is drawn that, in the strict sense, strength is not a property of the material; rather it characterizes its quality.

Explain why the rigidity of ceramics can be an advantage as well as disadvantage?

Look at some bricks or bathroom tiles, or at the porcelain enamel around the burner plates of a stove. You'll probably see small breaks in their surfaces. These breaks are evidence of one disadvantage of some ceramics: they are so rigid that they crack. One advantage is that they have strength. These ceramics contain silicon or aluminum, which can form small, rigid structures that bond together when water is removed.

How does the molecular order structure explain the magnetic properties of oxygen?

Molecular orbital theory predicts that ground state diatomic oxygen has two unpaired electrons (it is a diradical) which occupy its pi orbitals. These unpaired electrons produce a magnetic moment and are responsible for the paramagnetic property of diatomic oxygen.
