Question 1

Ionic solids

Answer 1

form crystal lattices
hard, brittle substances that have high melting points
ionic bonds are stronger so harder to break
don’t conduct in solid form

Question 2

Metallic solids

Answer 2

electrons can freely move from orbital to orbital
good conductors
have luster
have high melting points ionic

Question 3

Molecular Solids

Answer 3

patterns in orderly 3D pattern with IMFS holding them together
soft
low melting points why? weaker imf

Question 4

Network covalent solids

Answer 4

held together 2D or 3D networks containing covalent bonds (infra)

very high melting points

you’d have to break many strong covalent bonds

rigid and hard cause these bonds are fixed
