Question

Matching – classify the solids according to their predominant bonding type:

45. Metallic solids                    ___      (A) Discrete molecules held together by intermolecular forces

46. Ionic solids                        ___      (B) Extended networks of atoms held together by covalent bonds  

47. Molecular solids                 ___      (C) Extended networks of atoms held together by metallic bonding

48. Covalent-network solids     ___      (D) Extended network of ions held together by cation-anion interactions

Explanation / Answer

Ans : The solids can be predominantly classified on the basis of the interatomic bonding or interactions present in them. So here :

45 . Mertallic solids : C) Extended networks of atoms held together by metallic bonding

46. Ionic solids : D) Extended network of ions held together by cation - anion interactions.

47. Molecular solids bonding : A) Discrete molecules held together by intermolecular forces.

48. Covalent network solids : B) Extended networks of atoms held together by covalent bonds.
