Describing Solids

Typically described as a solid that lacks an orderly lattice structure

• ionic

• metallic

• amorphic

• network

All of the following represent a crystaline structure except

• ionic solids

• netword solids

• molecular solids

• they all are crystaline solids

are always composed of metals and are conductive

• ionic solids

• metallic solids

• molecular solids

• network solids

are typically formed from 2+ nonmetals

• molecular and network solid

• metallic and ionic solids

• ionic and network solids

• molecular and metallic solids

an example is glass

• ionic solid

• metallic solid

• molecular solid

• amorphic solids

contain a "sea of electrons" which makes them good conductors

• amorphic solids

• ionic solids

• metallic solids

• network solids

Molecular solids typically contain molecules individual molecules held together by covalent bonds but the many molecules are held together with

• hydrogen bonds

• covalent bonds

• ionic bonds

NGSS.HS-PS1-3

an example of this type of solid is diamond and graphite, both made of carbon atoms

• ionic solid

• metallic solid

• molecular solid

• network solid

these are typically easily malleable

• ionic solid

• molecular solid

• network solid

• metallic solid

this solid is formed from the attraction of ions

• molecular solid

• ionic solid

• network solid

• metallic solid
