3. Covalent bonding occurs in both molecular and covalent-network solids. Why do these two kinds of solids differ so greatly in
their hardness and melting points?
Molecular
Solids = individual molecules held together by
relatively weak IMF
Covalent = no individual molecules, all atoms are covalently
Network bonded to one another to make a large network
Crystal crystal
4. Which type (or types) of crystalline solid is characterized by each of the following:
(a) high mobility of electrons throughout the solid; metallic
(b) softness, relatively low melting point; molecular
(c) high melting point and poor electrical conductivity; covalent-network or ionic
(d) charged particles throughout the solid; ionic
5. You are given a white substance that sublimes at 3000oC; the solid is a nonconductor of electricity and is insoluble in water.
Which type of solid (Table 11.7 on page 464 of the textbook) might this substance be?
