What is the primary reason for the brittleness of certain materials? (2023)
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand what brittleness means. Brittleness is when a material breaks easily without bending or stretching.
Step 2: Learn about atomic bonding. Atoms in a material are held together by bonds, which can be strong or weak.
Step 3: Recognize that high atomic bonding energy means the bonds between atoms are very strong.
Step 4: Realize that strong bonds make it hard for the material to change shape (deform) when force is applied.
Step 5: Conclude that because the material cannot deform easily, it is more likely to break instead of bending, making it brittle.
