Concept explainers
Interpretation:
General properties of each type of solid have to be listed.
Concept introduction:
Metallic solid:
Metallic solid is high melting points, range from soft and malleable to very hard, which are good conductors of electricity.
Ionic solid:
Ionic solid has very high melting points
Ionic solids are brittleness and poor conductors in the solid state.
Molecular solid:
Molecular solids melt closer to 300 °C, which is can be either ductile or brittle. Many molecular solids have a large band gap between the valence band and conduction band.
Network solid:
Network solid has very high melting point, which are very hard.
Network solid doesn't conduct electricity, which are insoluble in water and organic solvents.
Amorphous solid:
In these solids particles are randomly arranged in three dimensions, does not have sharp melting points, which forms due to sudden cooling of liquid.
Alloy solid:
Alloy solid is high melting points, which are good conductors of electricity.
