What property of an ionic solid is being shown here?

• hardness

• solubility

• brittleness

• malleability

Why are ionic solids more brittle than covalent molecular crystals?

• Ionic solids are held together by stronger binding forces.
• Ionic crystals are soft and easy to break.
• Covalent solids are held together by stronger binding forces.
• Covalent crystals contain a greater number of bonds.
