Interpretation:
The reason for most metals to bend when struck but most ionic solids shatter needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Ionic solids are hard and brittle whereas metals are malleable and ductile.
Answer to Problem 66A
Metals ions existing in metal move away to take up outside forces and
In case of ionic solids, ionic repulsion causes ionic solid to shatter.
Explanation of Solution
Metal consist of electrons that are arranged in rows and on applying high force they move over one another causing the bend whereas in ionic solid repulsive forces is the main reason causing crystal to shatter.
