Match each type of solid with its characteristic bonding.

• Characterized by a network of covalent bonds throughout the structure.

• Molecular solid

• Characterized by molecules held together by intermolecular forces.

• Ionic solid

• Characterized by a sea of delocalized electrons shared among metal atoms.

• Metallic solid

• Characterized by a lattice of oppositely charged ions held together by electrostatic forces.

• Network covalent solid

What is the main difference between solids, liquids, and gases at the particulate level?
