Ceramics are strong but only in some ways. They are:
They resist to high temperatures, they don't conduct electricity and they have a high Young/elasticity module - that is, the deform very little while resisting to high tensions.
Atoms in ceramics are either linked by covalent or ionic bounds, which are the strongest bounds at the atomic level. Therefore they tend to have high thermal resistance since its very hard for those bounds to be broken, and so it's very hard for a ceramic to melt. That's why they're used in space shuttle.
They don't conduct electricity because there aren't free electrons or free ions capable of transmitting an electric current.

What are the two classes of ceramics?
The two classes of ceramics are traditional ceramics and advanced ceramics. Traditional ceramics are made from clay, while advanced ceramics are made from non-clay minerals and engineered materials.
Is ceramics from animals?
No, ceramics come from the earth.
What are the 3 types of materials?
The three types of materials are metals, polymers (plastics), and ceramics. Metals are typically strong and malleable, polymers are lightweight and often flexible, and ceramics are hard and brittle. Each type of material has unique properties that make them suitable for different applications.

What is the difference between the traditional ceramics and the new ceramics?
Traditional ceramics are made from naturally occurring materials like clay, while new ceramics are often produced from synthetic compounds. New ceramics generally have higher strength, hardness, and durability compared to traditional ceramics, and can be engineered to have specific properties for different applications. Additionally, new ceramics can be produced at higher temperatures and with more complex shapes than traditional ceramics.
Examle of ceramics?
Clay is shaped as desired then hardened through the process of baking in ceramics. An example of ceramics is a plant pot.
