Classification of crystalline solids. 1. Molecular solids: The forces operating between molecules are dispersion or London forces, dipole – dipole interactions, hydrogen bounding e.g. , HCl, ice etc. 2. Ionic solids: The intermolecular forces are coulomibic or electrostatic forces, e.g. NaCl, MgO etc. 3. Metallic solids: The forces operating is metallic bonding e.g. Fe, Cu, Ag etc. 4. Covalent or network solids: The attractive forces are covalent bonding e.g. Diamond, Quartz etc.
How are crystalline solids classified on the basis of nature of bonding? Explain with examples.
