Crystalline solids can be further classified depending on the nature of the bonding as: * Ionic * Molecular * Covalent * Metall..

Solids with a definite geometric pattern. Examples: Iron, copper, silver, sulphur etc. are some elements which form crystalline solids. Potassium chloride, sodium nitrate etc are some of the compounds, which are crystalline..

The substances whose constituents are arranged in definite orderly arrangements are called crystalline solids. Many naturally occurring solid substances occur in the crystalline form. Some common examples of crystalline solids are sodium ..

Crystalline substances have a definite rigid shape. The shape and size of crystals (even of the same materials) differs depending upon the conditions under which they are grown. Crystals of a given substance are bound by plane surfaces called faces. The angle between any two faces i..

Solids have definite shape and volume because the average distance between the molecules or atoms remain constant and do not change with time. The arrangement of molecules inside a solid differ from one to another. This results in two types of solids Crystalline..

Bonding in Molecular Solids - In molecular solids, the constituents units are molecules, which do not carry any charge. The attractive forces binding the molecules together are of two typ..

Dipole-dipole interactions These types of forces occur in molecular solids which have polar molecules. A polar molecule has separate centres of positive and negative charges. These forces arise due to electrostatic attraction of the other molecule and vice-versa (Th..
