Are ionic compounds often brittle?
YES(:
Ionic compounds are always what?
Netural and brittle
Ionic compounds are brittle because the strong attractive forces?
hold the layers in relatively fixed positions
Do ionic compounds shatter?
yes ionic compounds will shatter they are very brittle because when they form a crystal lattice each individual formula unit is not attracted to each other so they will break apart easily
Why are ionic compounds so brittle?
Ionic compound are brittle because if a force is added to the lattice the layer of ions repel causing the ionic lattice to split and to shatter also called repulsion the opposite charges are lined together. Electrostatic force attraction keeps the ionic compound together.

Is a brittle compound a molecular compound?
Periodic table lists elements. Not properties. Brittle is a property (of metals).

Does the substance being hit in the photo below contain ionic or metallic bonds.Explain your answer?
Ionic because ionic compounds tend to be brittle solids at room temperature and usually break apart when hit with a hammer.
What best describes the properties of ionic compounds?
There is not a statement available so it is difficult to answer this. Some properties of ionic compounds are high melting points, solid in room temperature, and they are brittle.

What is three ionic compound?
four properties of ionic compound are: 1-All ionic compounds form crystals 2-Ionic compounds are very hard and very brittle 3-Ionic compounds conduct electricity when they dissolve in water 4-Ionic compounds tend to have high melting and boiling points and 3 ionic compounds are: Sodium Chloride - Na Cl Potassium Fluoride - KF Magnesium Chloride - MgCl2
Are ionic compounds always brittle?
No. Some of them are liquids at room temperature, and most of them can be melted at higher temperature.
Why do ionic compounds have giant structures?
because ionic compounds can not get access through the cell membrane
