>>11729011ceramics can be either amorphous or crystalline. a "crystal" occurs in tons of different chemical systems, from proteins to ceramics to metals. ceramics typically have higher bond energies than metals. therefore metals deform more easily, but their high electronic delocalization keeps everything together. ceramics have high stiffness because they hold really tightly at the bond, and therefor dont bend. when you stress it enough, it just snaps.
what the hell. this is my foray into /sci/ and damn everyone is dumb.
