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

Chemistry
1 answer:
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.

Which option defines kinetic energy?(1 point)
MAVERICK [17]

The option which accurately defines kinetic energy from the choices above is:

the energy an object has because of its motion

The correct answer choice is option c

In order words, kinetic energy is that type of energy which a body or an object posess due to its relative motion.

<h3>What is energy?</h3>

Energy can simply be defined as the capacity of doing work.

Energy is a derived quantity; meaning that it is obtained from the combination of fundamental quantities.

The unit of energy joules.

Other examples of derived quantities just like energy too are:

  • Volume
  • Speed
  • Acceleration
  • Density.
  • Upthrust
  • Momentum
  • Momentum
  • Power
  • Pressure
  • Force

Below are some few forms of energy; these are:

  • Kinetic energy
  • Potential energy
  • Mechanical energy
  • Solar energy
  • Light energy
  • Chemical energy

So therefore, the option which accurately defines kinetic energy from the choices above is:

the energy an object has because of its motion

trapecia [35]

Answer:carbon-14 levels in the atmosphere

Explanation:

When carrying out radiocarbon dating, the level of carbon-14 in a sample is compared with the level of carbon 14 in the atmosphere because, objects exchange carbon-14 with the atmosphere.

Comparison of the activities of carbon-14 in the atmosphere and in the sample gives the age of the sample since the half-life of carbon-14 is a constant.
