A)Ionic
B)Molecular
C)Metallic
D)Covalent-network
E)Metallic and covalent-network

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Molecular solids are made up of molecules held together by intermolecular forces, such as dipole-dipole forces, London dispersion forces, and hydrogen bonds. Ionic solids are held together by electrostatic attractions between ions, metallic solids consist of metallic atoms held together by metallic bonding, and covalent-network solids are held together by a network of covalent bonds. The question specifically mentions dipole-dipole forces and London dispersion forces, which are characteristics of molecular solids.
