Question

explain the brittle nature of ionic compound. ​

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{orange}{pink}{Answer}}$

Ionic crystals are hard because of tight packing lattices, say, the positive and negative ions are strongly attached among themselves.. Ionic compounds are brittle due to the presence of non directional bond between the ions.

Answer 2

Answer:

The ionic compounds are very hard and brittle. In ionic compounds the ions are rigidly held in a lattice because the positive and negative ions are strongly attracted to each other and difficult to separate. ...A repulsive forces arises between same charged ions. due to this repulsions the lattice structure breaks down.
