Question

Describe a chemical property that makes a brick useful and say why.?

Answer 1

They are made of clay so they are able to withstand high temperatures (good for many things).

They are fairly dense so they sink into the mortar well and stay rigid.

The bonding in the actuall brick is quite strong but can still be cut to different sizes when building walls.

Answer 2

A chemical property of brick, clay brick, is stable and inert.

They are simply clay, utimately fine sand semi-melted together and cooled to solidify into brick shape and size.

There is zero radon from clay bricks, no chemical compounds leaching out into the air, and UV rays mean nothing to them, UV rays won't harm bricks.

Answer 3

Bricks are quite unreactive to acidic rain.

Answer 4

I mean were talking like a red brick here right like one in a house or...no i got it. A common chemical found in bricks is sodium sulphide NaSo2. This is important because it is what gives the bricks its solidity, if you took this chemical out of bricks you would have less solid more silly putty, not so good for building houses.

Now if you mean the bricks in the land of Oz a.k.a. "The Yellow Brick Road" than THOSE bricks contained a chemical Known as Cesium (Cs) and were HIGHLY radioactive. This is the reason that little dorathy was hospalitozed after her little trip. It wasn't the fall into the pig pen.
