17
Q

Examples of an ionic solid?

A

NaCl

18
Q

Properties of an ionic solid?

A

High melting point. Hard but brittle. Conduct electricity when molten but not when solid.

19
Q

Structure of an ionic solid.

A

A 3-D network of oppositely-charged ions held together by strong forces.

20
Q

Examples of a metallic solid?

A

Cu
Al
Fe

21
Q

Properties of a metallic solid?

A

Low to high melting points. Malleable and ductile. Conduct electricity when solid or molten.

22
Q

Structure of a metallic solid?

A

A lattice of metallic ions held together by a ‘sea’ of delocalised electrons.

23
Q

Examples of a molecular solid?

A

H2O
CO2
I2

24
Q

Properties of a molecular solid?

A

Low melting points. Often soft or waxy. Do not conduct electricity when a solid or molten.

25
Q

Structure of a molecular solid?

A

Discrete (separate) molecules held together by weak forces.

26
Q

Examples of a covalent network?

A

C (diamond)
Si
SiO2 (silica)

27
Q

Properties of a covalent network?

A

High melting points. Hard but brittle. Do not conduct electricity when solid or molten. Exception for graphite.

28
Q

Structure of a covalent network?

A

Atoms joined together in a strong network.
