Name the solid that breaks eaisly?

Answer 1

It depends on what you mean. Many solids break easily if they are brittle or if they have a strong cleavage plane (ie. fragments cleave off in layers due to the sub-atomic crystal structure).

If you look at gemstones as an example then many of them are brittle and will chip (even diamond), topaz has strong basal cleavage and can only be cut with care and yet others have an interlocking crystal structure that makes them strong and resilient - eg jade (which has been described as having a 'felted' crystalline structure).

If you meant 'Which solid element breaks easily?' then the answer would still be 'Many of them' for the reasons listed above.

In addition, it also depends on what temperature the solid is at. At extremely cold temperatures many otherwise stable solids become brittle and will fracture (eg. when dipped in liquid nitrogen).

There is no simple answer!

Answer 2

Earth is the only Solid. All solids i.e. steel, iron, brick, plastics, aluminum, etc....Directly comes from the earth or is a mixture of solids from earth.

Q.How do we mix solids.
A.Through Elements.
I.E. Alloy is a solid of mixed metals. We mixed these metals through the element Fire/Heat.
We form metals by cooling it with high pressured Air=Element wind.

Answer 3

A solid that breaks easily is called 'brittle'

eg., glass, clay objects, etc.

Answer 4

Brittle or frangible.

Answer 5

gold

Answer 6

glass
