What is the relationship between ionic bonds and cleavage?

1 answer:

6 0

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.

Explanation:

It is understood that as at 31 December 2018, there had been 150 tornado event days with 1169 total tornado reports for 2018.

Then the average will be a calculated as:

1169/150= 7.79. This is regarded as the average amount of tornado experienced in the days it took place.

We can then infer and say that on average, each tornado event day had about 7.79 tornadoes reported.
