Question:medium

Match List-I with List-II:
List-I (Type of Crystalline Solid)List-II (Example)
(A) Ionic(III) Sodium Chloride, NaCl
(B) Covalent(IV) Diamond, C
(C) Molecular(I) Methane, CH4
(D) Metallic(II) Copper, Cu
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Show Hint

Ionic solids are held together with strong electrostatic attractions, covalent solids have a network of covalent bonds, molecular solids are held together by weak intermolecular forces, while metallic solids have metallic bonds through a sea of delocalized electrons.

  • (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV).
  • (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV).
  • (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III).
  • (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II).
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Crystalline solids are classified based on their bonding types:
• Ionic solids: Characterized by electrostatic forces (e.g., NaCl).
• Covalent solids: Feature covalent network bonds (e.g., Diamond, C).
• Molecular solids: Held together by weak forces (e.g., Methane, CH4).
• Metallic solids: Possess delocalized electrons (e.g., Copper, Cu).
The correct answer is: (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
