Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
        Ionic solids are formed when there is a large electronegativity difference between the atoms and they are combined to form a molecule.
        Due to this large electronegativity, the form of attraction between them is strong due to which the ions are held in their position to make the solid hard.
        But ionic solids are brittle because of the presence of non-directional bonds in them.
