Ceramic materials are____________________?
Correct answer: B. Stronger in compression than in tension
- A. Organic in nature
- B. Stronger in compression than in tension
- C. Always amorphous in nature
- D. Always bad heat conductors
Explanation
Ceramics generally withstand compressive loads well but are weak in tension because cracks propagate readily under tensile stress. They are not always amorphous or poor heat conductors, so option b is the valid statement.
