FOUR TYPES OF CRYSTALS (SOLID)

  1. Metallic crystals. Made of atoms that readily lose electrons to form positive ions (cations) but no atom in the crystal would readily gain electrons. The metal atoms gives up their electrons to the whole crystal, creating a structure made up of an orderly arrangement of cations surrounded by delocalized electrons that move around the crystal. The crystal is held together by electrostatic interactions between the cations and delocalized electron. These interactions are called “metallic bonds” and the model is termed as “sea of electrons model”.
  2. Ionic crystals. Made of ions (cations and anions) which form strong electrostatic interactions that hold the crystal lattice together. The electrostatic attractions are numerous and extend throughout the crystal since each ion is surrounded by several ions of opposite charge, making ionic crystals hard and of high melting points.
  3. Molecular crystals. Made up of atoms, such as noble gases, or molecules such as sugar, iodine and naphthalene. The atoms or molecules are held together by a mix hydrogen bonding/dipole-dipole and dispersion forces, and these are the attractive forces that are broken when crystal melts.
  4. Covalent network crystals. Made of atoms in which atom is covalently bonded to its nearest neighbors. The atoms can be made of one type of atom or made ofcan be made of different atoms. There are no individual molecules and the entire crystal mat be considered one very large molecule. The valence electrons of the atoms in the crystal are all used to form covalent bonds because there are no delocalized electrons, covalent network solids do not conduct electricity. Covalent bonds are the only type of attractive bond between atoms in network solid.
