Chapter 8, Problem 1RQ
What is a ceramic?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
What is a ceramic?
Explanation of Solution
Ceramic is the solid substance consisting of the inorganic metal, metalloid atom & nonmetal compound mostly held in ionic & covalent bonds. Some of the examples include porcelain, earthenware, and brick. The word ceramics (comes from Greek keramos, which means “potter’s clay,”& keramikos, which means “clay products”) refers to the material as well as the ceramic product. Owning to the huge number of combination of element that are possible, a broad variety of ceramic is available for wide range of industrial & consumer application.
