Question

Which property of ionic bonds is illustrated on the right? What other physical properties does this structure affect?

Answer 1

Crystal structure; brittleness

Step-by-step explanation:

The image illustrates the crystal structure of an ionic solid.

This structure affects the brittleness of the solid.

If you strike a sharp blow to the crystal with a hammer, the crystal layers will slide past each other.

The ions with the same charge will repel each other, and the crystal will fly apart.
