What type of bond is very hard and brittle?
ionic bonds
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.
Are ionic crystals brittle?
Well, to start with, table salt is an ionic crystal! It isnt brittle! In fact, ionic crystals aren't usually brittle!
Are most ionic compounds solids?
At room temperature, most ionic compounds are solids.
What characteristic do solid ionic compounds share?
In general, they are hard, brittle crystals that have high melting points. When they are dissolved, they can conduct electricity.

What are the properties of a ionic compound?
They are hard and brittle, conduct electricity in water, and have high melting and boiling points. (:
Which is a property of most nonmetalic solids?
Brittleness. Reason: Non-metallic solids are usually brittle.
Is a brittle compound a molecular compound?
Periodic table lists elements. Not properties. Brittle is a property (of metals).
Are most ionic compounds solids?
At room temperature, most ionic compounds are solids.
Do ionic solids have low melting points?
No, ionic solids have very high melting points. Ionic solids are one of the strongest bonds formed among elements.
What characteristic do solid ionic compounds share?
In general, they are hard, brittle crystals that have high melting points. When they are dissolved, they can conduct electricity.
A characteristic of most nonmetallic solids is that they are?
they are NOT good conductors of heat and they are brittle solids.
Which is most likely to shatter bronze or sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride- ionic solids tend to be brittle and shatter, bronze is an alloy of copper and tin and metals and alloys are malleable.
Why ionic compound are hard solid?
Because the bonding of the molecules is strong,so that's why they are hard solids... Regards Wasif Waliullah Bullo
