Answer:

Explanation:

Electrovalent compounds have oppositely charged ions that are held tightly by strong electrostatic forces which make it a closely packed structure. ... This displacement leads to electrostatic repulsions in between the layers. Therefore, the electrovalent compounds are said to be brittle.
