Solids are closely packed condensed states, with their constituent particles (atoms, ions or molecules) held together by strong physical or chemical bonds. These particles show a definite regular arrangement in a long range order. Solids may be broadly categorised into four types, depending upon the nature of bonds present in them. These are:

• Ionic solids (ionic bonds)

• Covalent solids - (covalent bonds)

• Molecular solids (Van der Waal's bonds)

• Metallic solids (metallic bonds).
