Answer:

a is write

Explanation:

Why are all ionic compounds crystalline in structure?

Ionic compounds are generally hard, but brittle. ... The repulsive forces between like-charged ions cause the crystal to shatter. When an ionic crystal breaks, it tends to do so along smooth planes because of the regular arrangement of the ions.
