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

The answer is: B. A strong repulsive force is created when the cations suddenly line up.

Explanation:

Solid ionic compounds are fragile. This behavior is explained as a result of the repulsions that appear when one layer of ions moves with respect to the other so that ions of the same charge are stopped.

The answer is: B. A strong repulsive force is created when the cations suddenly line up.

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
