Which bonding mechanism causes increased brittleness in ceramic implants containing high magnesium oxide?

💡 Explanation

Increased magnesium oxide forms more ionic bonds; because ionic bonds have strong electrostatic attractions but limited slippage, brittle fracture sensitivity rises; therefore, ceramics become more prone to catastrophic failure, rather than deforming plastically.
