Most crystals show good cleavage because their atoms, ions or molecules are
Updated On: Sep 3, 2024
- weakly bonded together
- strongly bonded together
- spherically symmetrical
- arranged in planes
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
In crystals, the constituents are arranged in orderly pattern, ie, in planes, thus they show good cleavage.

- The density and breaking stress of a wire are \( 6 \times 10^4 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) and \( 1.2 \times 10^8 \, \text{N/m}^2 \) respectively. The wire is suspended from a rigid support on a planet where the acceleration due to gravity is \( \frac{1}{3} \) of the value on the surface of Earth. The maximum length of the wire without breaking is ________ m (take \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)).

Properties of Solids:
- In solids, particles are tightly or closely packed.
- Solids are incompressible, meaning the constituent particle is arranged close to each other and because of that, there is negligible space between the constituent particle.
- Solids are rigid, due to lack of space between the constituent particles which make it rigid or fixed.
- Solids have definite mass, volume and shape due to which it has a compact arrangement of constituent particles.
- The intermolecular distance between molecules is short.
- The rate of diffusion in solids is very low.
