All of the following have cleavage planes except
Correct answer: D. metallic crystals
- A. ionic crystals
- B. covalent crystals
- C. molecular crystals
- D. metallic crystals
Explanation
Cleavage is the tendency of a crystal to break along specific planes of weakness, resulting in smooth surfaces. Different types of crystals exhibit cleavage to varying degrees.Metallic crystals: Metallic crystals typically do not have cleavage planes. Metals have a more delocalized structure with a sea of electrons, and the lack of distinct planes of weakness makes them less prone to cleavage.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
