Which of the following statements explains why ionic compounds are brittle?
a)when a force is applied to the crystal, the weak electrostatic interactions cause
opposite ions to attract and shatter the crystal lattice.
b)when a force is applied to the crystal, the weak electrostatic interactions cause
similar ions to repel and shatter the crystal lattice.
c)when a force is applied to the crystal, the strong electrostatic interactions cause
similar ions to repel and shatter the crystal lattice.
d)when a force is applied to the crystal, the strong electrostatic interactions cause
similar ions to attract and shatter the crystal lattice.
