10 Questions
The degree of ionic character in a ceramic material increases with a decrease in the difference in electronegativity of the atoms.
False
In oxide ceramic structures, metal cations are larger than oxygen anions.
False
A stable ceramic structure is formed when the net charge is non-zero.
False
The coordination number of a cation decreases with an increase in the radius of the anion.
False
In ceramic crystal structures, the formation of stable structures is achieved by minimizing the number of oppositely charged ion neighbors.
False
The chemical formula of a ceramic material reflects the charge neutrality of the material.
True
The ionic character of a ceramic material is only dependent on the difference in electronegativity of the atoms.
False
Ceramic materials can have a large degree of covalent character in their bonding.
True
The structure of a ceramic material is determined solely by the size of the ions.
False
Ceramic crystal structures can have a variety of coordination numbers, depending on the size and arrangement of the ions.
