More Information
Different types of solids have distinct structural features and properties; for example, metallic solids have a 'sea of electrons,' while network covalent solids like diamond exhibit strong covalent bonding.
Tips
Confusing the different types of bonding in solids is common. Recall that ionic bonds are between oppositely charged ions, while covalent bonds involve sharing electrons.
