Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following properties is characteristic of ionic solids? (2021)
  • Step 1: Understand what ionic solids are. They are made up of positive and negative ions held together by strong forces called electrostatic forces.
  • Step 2: Recognize that these strong forces create a rigid structure in ionic solids.
  • Step 3: Learn that when you apply force to an ionic solid, the layers of ions can shift.
  • Step 4: Realize that this shifting can cause like charges to come close together, which leads to repulsion.
  • Step 5: Understand that this repulsion causes the solid to break or shatter, making ionic solids brittle.
