There are different forces that are associated with solids. The main ones are normal forces and ionic bonds which hold together ionic solids.

The force of attraction between particles in a solid is very strong hence, the particles vibrate on the spot.

Why do molecular solids have lower boiling points than ionic solids?
In the liquid the intermolecular forces between covalent molecules are weaker than the forces between ions.
What is one type of attractive force that stabilizes molecular solids?
London dispersion forces
What forces hold ionic solids together?
Ionic bonds
London dispersion forces exist in all molecular solids?
London dispersion forces increase when atomic radius increase or the number of interactions between molecules.increase.
What usually has lower melting points than ionic solids?
Molecular solids
What forces hold molecular together?
London dispersion forces (also known as van der Waals forces) hold molecular solids together. or Intermolecular forces

What type of interactions hold the molecules tpgether in a polar molecular solid?
In polar molecular solids' molecules are held together by relatively stronger dipole-dipole interactions.
What type of inter molecular forces hold oxycontin molecules together?
Hydrogen bonding, dipoles, and London dispersion forces.
How can a liquid easily change its shape while a solid cannot?
Because inter molecular forces in liquids are much weaker than in solids.
What is molecular solvation?
A molecular solid is a crystalline solid held together by intermolecular forces and composed of discrete molecules held together by van der Waals interactions. This type of solid can be contrasted with metallic solids and covalent solids, which are held together by stronger bonds.As one would expect based on the aforementioned information, molecular solids tend to be melted or sublimated at lower temperatures than other types of solids, because of their weak intermolecular bonding.
The direct transfer of molecular motion through solids?
The direct transfer of molecular motion through solids is called conduction
What has lower melting points than ionic solids?
Molecular solids
