If a crystal lattice structure is so hard, what causes most ionic compounds to be brittle?

Explanation:

The cations and anions are locked tightly into place because of the attraction of their opposite charges - as a result, it's difficult to move the ions and the material is very hard.

When studying atoms, scientists can ignore the
vekshin1

When studying atoms, scientists can ignore <u>the Gravitational</u> force between charged particles that make up  the atoms because it is many millions of times smaller than other forces in the atom.

Explanation:

Scientists can ignore the gravitational force because the gravitational force is considered to be negligible as compared to the other forces due to its smaller value.We all know that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of an object which  result in  a small force value.When the value of this small force is compared to the value of the electrical force between protons and electrons in atoms the we can say that the electrical force is million times stronger than the gravitational force

Thus we can say that scientists can ignore <u>the Gravitational</u> force between charged particles that make up  the atoms because it is many millions of times smaller than other forces in the atom.
