Answers

Answered by ayush98764

Answer:

The reason why ionic compounds are hard and brittle is because the ions in the compound are already held rigidly in place in a lattice due to the strong electrostatic forces of attraction in between the cations and the anions as well as the repulsion in the ions with like charges .
