Ionic Solids
An ionic solid is a solid that consists of cations and anions held together by the electrical attraction of opposite charges (ionic bonds)
This is technically considered an intra-ion force and results in ionic compounds having very high melting points.

Ionic Bonding
The forces involved in ionic compounds are derived from the creation of a crystal lattice composed of alternating negative and positive ions.
Because of the full charge on ions, ionic bonds are stronger than dipole-dipole interactions
![Page 5: Types of Solids](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/568131db550346895d984203/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Ionic Bonding
Ionic compounds have the following physical properties: Very high melting points Brittle Non-conductive in a solid state Conductive in a liquid state and when
dissolved in water (electrolyte) May dissolve in water, but not all
ionic compounds do!

Metallic solids
Metals usually have very high melting points, although this can be highly variable.
For example, mercury melts at -39oC while tungsten melts at 3410oC
Therefore, the forces in metals must be quite strong.

Metallic solids
In metals, the valence electrons of neighbouring atoms form a sort of ‘electron sea’
These electrons are called “delocalized electrons”
This ‘delocalized electron soup’ can be thought of as a ‘glue’ that holds the positive nuclei of the metal atoms together.
![Page 10: Types of Solids](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/568131db550346895d984203/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Metallic solids
The positive nuclei of metals form lattice structures within the electron soup.
This means that metals are composed of crystals, but they are usually too small to see.
However, formation of metals through electroplating can make the crystalline nature more obvious.

Molecular solids
A molecular solid is a solid that consists of atoms or molecules held together by intermolecular forces
Examples include: Solid neon (melting point of -248oC) Solid CO2 (dry ice)
Solid H2O (ice) Iodine Sugar
![Page 15: Types of Solids](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/568131db550346895d984203/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Molecular solids
Consider the element Iodine, I2
Iodine is a solid at room temperature and pressure
What intermolecular forces maintain this solid state?
Only London forces! However, it has 106 electrons, giving it
sufficient intermolecular force to be a solid at room temperature.
![Page 16: Types of Solids](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/568131db550346895d984203/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
![Page 17: Types of Solids](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/568131db550346895d984203/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Molecular solids
Molecular solids are held together more strongly if made up of polar molecules (dipole-dipole forces) rather than non-polar molecules (London dispersion forces).
Molecular solids tend to be soft, waxy, flexible, and have low melting points and water solubility.
![Page 18: Types of Solids](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/568131db550346895d984203/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Covalent Network Solid
Consider carbon dioxide (CO2) and silicon dioxide (SiO2).
What would you expect the physical properties of SiO2 to be?
CO2 b.p. = -78.5oC If London forces are the only
intermolecular force, then you might predict the b.p. of SiO2 to be slightly more than CO2.
![Page 19: Types of Solids](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/568131db550346895d984203/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Covalent Network Solid
However SiO2 has a m.p. of 1650oC, and b.p. of 2230oC!
SiO2 is also known as quartz, or sand, is used in the production of glass.
Clearly, SiO2 is not a molecular solid like CO2 is.
SiO2 is a covalent network solid.

Amethyst quartz (SiO2)

Covalent Network Solid A covalent network solid is a solid that
consists of atoms held together in large networks or chains by covalent bonds. Very common with Group 14 elements - can make 4 bonds.
Every atom is covalently bonded forming a 3-dimensional network
Examples include: diamond, graphite, silicon, quartz, asbestos
![Page 24: Types of Solids](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/568131db550346895d984203/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Diamond - 3D network solid
3D network solids are hard and are generally transparent or translucent
Diamond is different allotrope of carbon than graphite
Like graphite, it is a covalent network solid, but it is 3-dimensional lattice of carbon atoms.
This is what gives diamond its characteristic hardness.

Graphite - 2D network solid
It is a 2D covalent network solid, which means it is soft and shiny
It consists of ‘sheets’ of covalently bonded carbons
These sheets can slide over one another easily, making graphite useful for writing (i.e. it is the ‘lead’ in pencils!)
It is also an electrical conductor in one direction only because of delocalized electrons between sheets of carbon.
