The correct answer is d) ionic bonds are strong, so the mineral only shows cleavage where there isn't an ionic bond.
When a crystal of an ionic compound is struck is struck with a sharp edge, the lattice can split along certain plains. As the ions line up in repeating patterns, they form crystals with flat faces and regular angles. The orderly arrangement of ions means that, if the crystal is struck at certain angles, the blow displaces the ions slightly so that the ions of the same charge are momentarily lined up opposite each other. Thy then repeal each other and the crystal is cleaved.

sweet [91]

Answer: D

Explanation:

By 2100 Global warming would have more than double as the release of chlorofluorocarbons into the atmosphere does not seem to abase. The industrial zone of Pittsburgh, US contributes a lot to the increase in the atmospheric temperatures of the surrounding areas. The continually high demand for wood charcoal by pharmaceutical companies, households, and food vendors in developing countries would mean more deforestation which consequently expose the earth's crust to high insolatoon from the solar system.

However, the replacement of natural landscape by human landscape is on the rise. In the UAE, Dubai alone has u number of construction projects, from skyscrappers to artificial islands. More trees would be removed to make these construction projects possible. The consequent effect of all these cannot be anything other than more warming of the globe.
