Ionic compounds, metallic bonded substances and amorphous substances are typically solids under normal conditions. Molecular solids generally have lower melting points so the vast majority ill be gases or liquids. A significant number with large molecules will also be solids, e.g. waxes.

Is Zn molecular or ionic or neither?

Zinc (Zn) is an elemental metal and is not considered molecular or ionic. It exists as individual atoms in its solid metallic form.


What could you do to determine whether an unknown solid is an ionic compound or a molecular solid?

In the laboratory you could determine if a solid has an ionic bond or a metallic bond by trying to run a current through it. Metal solids have delocalized electrons and conduct electricity well. Ionic solids will not conduct electricity unless dissolved.


1 Ni metallic solid 2 C6H6 molecular solid 3 KF ionic solid 4 H2O molecular solid 5 CsI covalent solid Which is incorrect?

The incorrect answer is CsI. CsI is a crystalline solid. The types of solids listed above represent the properties that the molecular structure has. For example, many molecular solids consist of carbon and hydrogen, with an occasional diatomic molecule thrown in such as O2. CsI is under the category of a salt, which also has a crystalline structure. And ionic solids are solids made out of molecules with oppositely charged ions. And if you look at the location of the two elements on the periodic table you can see that they have opposite charges. Metallic solids....well they contain metal, lol.


Which solid is more likely to have the lowest melting point an ionic solid or molecular solid?

A molecular solid is more likely to have a lower melting point than an ionic solid. This is because molecular solids are held together by weaker intermolecular forces such as van der Waals forces, while ionic solids have strong electrostatic forces between ions.


How do ionic and molecular compounds differ in physical properties?

Ionic compounds have higher melting and boiling points than molecular compounds due to the strong electrostatic forces between ions. Ionic compounds are usually solid at room temperature, while molecular compounds can be solid, liquid, or gas. Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water, while molecular compounds do not.

Is lead a molecular or ionic compound?

The element does not form either but instead a metallic solid, metal particles attracted by metallic bonds. Because metals tend to let go of their electrons easily a metallic solid at the same time transfers and shares electrons very loosely in a metallic solid, in a "sea of electrons."

Is gold and platnium a ionic solid?

No, gold and platinum are not ionic solids. They are metallic elements that form metallic bonds with delocalized electrons. Ionic solids are formed by the electrostatic attraction between positively and negatively charged ions.
