Question

Q1. Deduce the differences between Molecular solids,
ionic solid and covalent solid with respect to
1)bonding (2)physical nature (3) electrical conductivity
4) Melting point.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Crystalline solids fall into one of four categories. All four categories involve packing discrete molecules or atoms into a lattice or repeating array, though network solids are a special case. The categories are distinguished by the nature of the interactions holding the discrete molecules or atoms together. Based on the nature of the forces that hold the component atoms, molecules, or ions together, solids may be formally classified as ionic, molecular, covalent (network), or metallic. The variation in the relative strengths of these four types of interactions correlates nicely with their wide variation in properties.
