Question

Difference between ionic solid and covalent solid

Answer 1

Hey mate here's your answer

The major types of solids are ionic, molecular, covalent, and metallic. Ionic solids consist of positively and negatively charged ions held together by electrostatic forces; the strength of the bonding is reflected in the lattice energy. Ionic solids tend to have high melting points and are rather hard.

Answer 2

Hi Mr.

Answer:

The ionic solids are made up of oppositely charged ions i.e.,cations and anions closely packed in space.

In the covalent solids, the constituent particles are atoms which generally belong to non-metals.
