A)Halogens
B)Non-Metals
C)Metals
D)Ionic compounds

Answer 1

Answer:

D) Ionic compounds are the simplest form of a crystalline solid.

Explanation:

• The atoms, ions, or molecules in crystalline materials have a definite regular geometry. In general, crystalline solids produce crystal lattices that extend in all directions. True solids are also known as crystalline solids.
• Ionic solids, molecular solids, network covalent solids, and metallic solids are the four forms of crystalline solids.
• The cations and anions in ionic compounds are tightly packed in space and have strong interactions. They exist as extremely hard crystals.
