______ solids are formed by the three-dimensional arrangements of cations and anions
bound by strong coulombic (electrostatic) forces.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Ionic
- Ionic solids are made up of structural particles like cations and anions.
- The intermolecular forces that act upon these solids are electrostatic.
- Properties are- hard, brittle, conduct electricity as a liquid but not as a solid, very high melting points.
