Question

Looking at the diagrams on page 432 on 433, please provide an alternative example of each type of solid.

                     molecular solid -

                     ionic solid -

                     covalent atomic solid -

                     nonbonding atomic solid -

                     metallic atomic solid -

Answer 1

Ans:

		Constituent particles	Bonding/Attractive forces
1	Molecular solid	Molecules
	i. Non-polar		Dispersion force
	ii. Polar		Dipole-Dipole interaction
	iii. Hydrogen-bonded		Hydrogen bonding
2	Ionic solid	ions	Coulombic or electrostatic force
3	Covalent atomic solid	Atoms	Covalent bonding
4	Non-bonding atomic solid	Noble gases (in solid form)	Dispersion force
5	Metallic atomic solid	Metal atoms (positive ions in a sea of delocalized electrons)	Metallic bonding

		Examples
1	Molecular solid
	i. Non-polar	CCl4, H2, I2, CO2
	ii. Polar	HCl, SO2, HBr, O3
	iii. Hydrogen-bonded	H2O(ice), NH3, HF
2	Ionic solid	NaCl, MgO, ZnS, CaF2
3	Covalent atomic solid	Carbon (both diamond and graphite), SiO2 (quartz), SiC, AlN
4	Non-bonding atomic solid	Ne, He, Ar (solid form)
5	Metallic atomic solid	Fe, Cu, Ag, Mg
