Which is the reason that ionic compounds are brittle?

Chemistry
1 answer:
natulia [17]3 years ago
6 0
This is because most ionic compounds consist of a bond between a metal and a non-metal and if the compound was in solid state it tends to be brittle because of the metal part of the compound

sergey [27]

Their positive charge is located in a small region that is called the nucleus.

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford in his gold foil experiment was able to demonstrate that the nucleus is made up of positive charges which occupies a small and tiny nucleus.

Rutherford bombarded a thin gold foil with alpha particles from a radioactive source.

  1. He observed that all the particles passed through but a small portion was deflected back.
  2. This led to his proposition of the nuclear model the atom.

Explain the electrolysis of acidified water​
Andrew [12]

Answer:

yqaeh

Explanation:

Electrolysis of acidified water

Water is a poor conductor of electricity, but it does contain some hydrogen ions , H +, and hydroxide ions, OH -. These ions are formed when a small proportion of water molecules naturally dissociate . ... H + ions are attracted to the cathode , gain electrons and form hydrogen gas.

The rate constant (k) for a reaction was measured as a function of temperature. a plot of lnk versus 1/t(in k) is linear and has
NNADVOKAT [17]

The Arrhenius equation is

K=Ae^-{\frac{Ea}{RT}}

so if we plot a graph between lnK (natural log of rate constant) and 1/T (inverse of temperature in kelvin)

The straight line equation will be

lnK = lnA - Ea/RT

Where

A = constant for a particular reaction at any temperature

R = gas constant = 8.314 J /molK

So as per this equation the slope of line will be = -Ea/R

Or

Ea = -slope X R

Ea = -(-9.20X10³X 8.314) =76.49kJ /mol

Answer: activation energy = 76.49 kJ /mol
