Depends on how the sword is made, what materials are used and temperature used but yes they can shatter.
When molecules cool down they stop vibrating and moving as much and so they "shrink" and the metal of the sword becomes brittle. sometimes they shrink at different phases which cause tension in the sword if this tension is strong enough it can cause the metallic bonds to break causing the sword to shatter.
hope that helps
Answer: I italicize for checking
- <em>Rocks are preserved through the process.</em>
- <em>Rocks change from one type to another.</em>
- <em>Different rock groups are interrelated.</em>
- Rocks change from one type to another in a specific order.
- <em>Environmental conditions influence a change in rock type.</em>
Explanation:
Rocks are preserved, as in you can't destroy them completely, but no, they don't <em>stay </em>the same they change.
Answer:
Li2S> Na2S> K2S> CsS
Explanation:
The lattice energy of ionic species depends on the relative sizes of ions in the ionic compounds. As the size of ions increases, the lattice energy decreases and vice versa.
When the size of the anions are the same, the lattice energy now depends on the relative sizes of the cations. Therefore, since all the compounds are sulphides and the order of magnitude of ionic sizes is: Li^+ < Na^+ < K^+ < Cs^+.
Therefore, the order of decrease in lattice energy is; Li2S> Na2S> K2S> CsS
