what is the lattice pattern of Earthenware

Answer:
Just like in every material, the properties of ceramics are determined by the types of atoms present, the types of bonding between the atoms, and the way the atoms are packed together
Two types of bonds are found in ceramics: ionic and covalent. The ionic bond occurs between a metal and a nonmetal, in other words, two elements with very different electronegativity. Electronegativity is the capability of the nucleus in an atom to attract and retain all the electrons within the atom itself, and depends on the number of electrons and the distance of the electrons in the outer shells from the nucleus.
In an ionic bond, one of the atoms (the metal) transfers electrons to the other atom (the nonmetal), thus becoming positively charged (cation), whereas the nonmetal becomes negatively charged (anion). The two ions having opposite charges attract each other with a strong electrostatic force.
