Which of the following best explains why ionic crystals are brittle?​

Chemistry

Natalka [10]3 years ago
3 0

Packing

Explanation:

Ionic crystals are  brittle due to the tight packing of their crystals. This provides little to no mobility between one another.

  • Brittleness implies having little to no elasticity.
  • Ionic crystals are held together by strong crystal lattice forces
  • These forces prevents crystals from freely rotating and moving space.
  • It holds them rigidly and fixed in place.
  • Ionic crystals are hard and held electrostatic forces.

<u>To determine:</u>

The scientific notation corresponding to the given number

<u>Explanation:</u>

Scientific notation is a concise way of representing a very large or small number. It is written in two parts:

Given Number = Digits * Power of 10

In this case we have:

0.000008 = 8.0 * 10⁻⁶

Find the specific heat of an unknown material with an initial temperature of 20°C, when 5000 Joules are applied to a 50 gram sam
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

2J/g°C

Explanation:

Q = 5000J

Initial temperature (T1) = 20°C

Final temperature (T2) = 70°C

Specific heat capacity (c) = ?

Heat energy (Q) = mc∇T

Q = mc∇T

Q = mc(T2 - T1)

5000 = 50 × c × (70 - 20)

5000 = 50c × 50

5000 = 2500c

c = 5000 / 2500

c = 2J/g°C

The specific heat capacity of the substance is 2J/g°C
