Unit 3.2: Properties of Solids
Identify the type of solid given its formula or properties.
-
Classify NaCl as ionic, molecular, metallic, or covalent network
solid.
-
A solid is is not conductive as a solide however creates a conductive
solution when dissolved in water. What type of solid it is?
Use IMFs/interparticle forces to explain variations in physical
properties.
-
Explain why CH₄ is a gas at room temperature while C₆H₁₄ is a liquid.
Justify solid properties using representations of ionic, molecular,
metallic, and network covalent solids.
-
Explain why diamond (covalent network) is hard while NaCl (ionic) is
brittle.
Compare and contrast the properties of different solid types.
-
Compare the electrical conductivity of metallic solids vs. ionic
solids.
