← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when differential stress is applied rapidly to crystalline ceramic materials?
A)Ionic cleavage across charged planes✓
B)Increased metallic domain alignment
C)Covalent network propagation is inhibited
D)Hydrogen bond mediated domain shifts
💡 Explanation
Ionic solids fracture because differential stress causes migration along charged planes via the glide mechanism which exceeds the ionic bond strength; therefore, catastrophic cracking follows, rather than metallic yielding or covalent crosslinking.
