Report numerical answers to the specified number of significant figures and units. Leave a single space in between the numerical answer and the units. Also, leave a single space in between answers that include more than one word. DO NOT include any commas within the numerical values or in between answers with multiple words. Include a 0 before the decimal point for values less than one. Include units throughout your calculations 1.

Explanation / Answer

1)The two characters of components of ions that determine the crystal structure of a ceramic compound is 1) the magnitude of the electrical charge on each ion, and (2) the relative sizes of the cations and anions.

2) The hardness of a ceramic material is difficult to measure because of their brittleness and susceptibility to crack.

3) Refractory ceramics have the capacity to withstand high temperatures without decomposing to environmental conditions.

4) for a ceramic material micro cracks result in amplification of tensile stresses and result in low fracture strength.

5) Stress amplification does not occur with compressive loads and ceramics are strong in compressive loads.

6) The principal constituents found in Portland cement are tricalcium silicate and dicalcium silicate. They are mainly used in mortar and concrete.

7) A cation vacancy- Cation Interstitial is known as Frankel defect.

8) Carbon Nanotubes have unique and structural- sensitive electrical characteristics. They are used as reinforcement in composites.
