Which is the reason that ionic compounds are brittle? The bonds between the anions and cations are weak and therefore easily bro
ken. A strong repulsive force is created when cations suddenly align. They involve positive metal ions in a sea of delocalized electrons. They share electrons, which makes the bond brittle.
Well ionic compounds are brittle because similar charges repel, which causes them to break usually occurring when a force is applied, like a hammer strike.
The density of a pure gold is 19.32g/cm3 if the volume is 4.30 cm3 then we can calculate the mass using the formula mass=density x volume mass=19.32*4.30 mass=83.076g
