∙ 10y agoIt is possible to bend metals because metals are ductile and malleable. They can be drawn into wires and they can be hammered or pressed into shapes. In contrast, ionic crystals will shatter as the positive ions repel one another when pressed.

What are the similarities of ionic crystals and solid metals?
Both of them are solids and chemical bonds hold them together
Why is that metals are malleable and ionic crystals are brittle is best explaind in terms of their what?
chemical bonds
What are the similarities between ionic crystals and solid metals?
Both of them are solids ad chemical bonds hold them together
Do ionic bonds form molecules?
No. Ionic bonds form crystals, and metallic bonds form metals or metal alloys. Only covalent bonding creates what we call a molecule.
Do ionic compounds form crystals?
Usually ionic compounds form crystals when in their solid state.

Are electrons in ionic crystals tightly bound?
Atoms are bonded in ionic crystals.
Do ionic bonds form molecules?
No. Ionic bonds form crystals, and metallic bonds form metals or metal alloys. Only covalent bonding creates what we call a molecule.
Do ionic compounds form crystals?
Usually ionic compounds form crystals when in their solid state.
What compound is most likely to contain an ionic bound?
Ionic bonds generally form between metals and non-metals. So, ionic compounds feature ionic bonds. The greater the electronegativity difference (usually the farther apart they are on the periodic table), the more ionic the bond is. The most ionic compound possible is cesium fluoride (CsF) because those two elements have the greatest possible electronegativity difference.
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!
Why ionic crystals don't conduct electricity in the solid state?
In the solid state ionic crystals are not dissociated in ions.
Is it possible for metals and non metals to form non covalent bonds?
No. The difference in electronegativity is too great.
What is the difference in metals and ionic compounds when force is applied?
ionic compounds have a high melting point compared to metals and ionic compounds do not conduct electricity as metals
Is diamond a ionic crystal?
No. You can read more about ionic crystals, below.
