Why do molecular solids usually have lower melting points than ionic solids?
The electrostatic force between the positive ions and the negative ions are very strong, so it requires a large amount if energy to break them. The attractive force between covalent molecular is weak, so less heat energy is required to break it.
What forces hold molecular solids?
There are different forces that are associated with solids. The main ones are normal forces and ionic bonds which hold together ionic solids.
The forces of attraction between molecules in a molecular compound are generally?
force of attraction between molecules in solid is very great due to strong cohesive force holding them together
This is a force where objects are attracted or repelled to one another?
Gravitational force exists between masses. Gravitational force is only of attractive. No repulsive gravitational force has been found so far. But in electrostatics and magnetism, the force between electric charges and magnetic poles respectively are of both repulsive and attractive. Nuclear force between the nucleons within the nucleus of the atom is also attractive in nature.
What is an attractive force that holds atoms together to form a compound?
It is an electric force - the "ionic bond".
What force holds molecular solids together?
London dispersion forces (also known as van der Waals forces) hold molecular solids together. or Intermolecular forces
Why do molecular solids usually have lower melting points than ionic solids?

Why are some solids more dense than other solids?
The density of material depends upon the inter molecular force of attraction between the molecules... some solid molecules have more inter molecular force hence they are denser than other solids...
Solids maintain a definite shape and volume because their particles?
have a strong attractive force
Why do solids do not stay the same shape?
Because the solid molecules are joined with very high inter molecular force in case of liquid this force is not very high.No. It is because the molecules in solids maintain a regular pattern and only vibrate, or move very slowly
Is gravity strictly an attractive force or is it magnetism where it can be attractive or repulsive?
Gravity is strictly an attractive force.
Which term is pulling force of exerted by solids?
The force exerted by solids when pulled is called tensile force.
What force pulls a attractive force?
gravity;)
What forces hold molecular solids?
There are different forces that are associated with solids. The main ones are normal forces and ionic bonds which hold together ionic solids.
What is a property of solid?
It keeps it's shape
What is molecular force?
The force between two molecules.
In metals and ionic solids there will be forces of repulsion between particles with like charges Agree or disagree and why?
Agree, because this repulsion of like electrostatic charges is an inherent property of such charges. However, the repulsive force can be exceeded by attractive, atomic level forces, such as those that form atomic nuclei from many protons, or by attractive electrostatic forces between opposite charges, as occurs in metallic bonding and ionic solids.
