which is the reason that ionic compounds are brittle?
the bonds between the anions and cations are weak and therefore easily broken.
a strong repulsive force is created when cations suddenly align.
they involve positive metal ions in a sea of delocalized electrons.
they share electrons, which makes the bond brittle.
