Question

i. What are the types of particles in

each of the four main classes of

crystalline solids ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Crystalline substances can be described by the types of particles in them and the types of chemical bonding that takes place between the particles. There are four types of crystals: (1) ionic, (2) metallic, (3) covalent network, and (4) molecular network.

Answer 2

Each of the four basic kinds of crystalline solids has different types of particles:

1. Ionic Solids: Cations and anions are the constituent particles of ionic solids. The constituent particles are individually charged and have the strongest bonds.

2. Covalent Solids: Atoms are the constituent components of covalent network solids. The atoms present share an electron to complete their stable states.

3. Molecular solids: Monoatomic or polyatomic molecules make up constituent particles. Are bulky solids.

4. Metallic solids: In a sea of electrons, constituent particles are metallic ions.
