Complete columns A–C in the table below by referring to the examples in Model 1. Place a check in the box that appropriately describes the types of atoms that are usually seen in each type of solid.
Then, complete columns D and E in the table below by referring to the examples in Model 1. Place an X in the box that appropriately describes the arrangement of atoms or molecules in the solid (either molecular—distinct molecules, or formula units—repeating units in three dimensions with no distinct molecules).
Finally, there are four possible forces of attraction that hold atoms or molecules together in a solid:
covalent bonds, ionic bonds, metallic bonds and intermolecular forces. These depend on the type
of atoms in the solid and whether the connections are between ions, atoms or molecules. Within your group, discuss the type of attractive forces that are most likely holding the atoms or molecules together in each type of solid. List your answers in column F in the table below.
