Step-by-step solution
Ionic solids are formed by the electrostatic attraction between cations and anions. K ₂ SO ₄ is an ionic solid composed of K ^+ and SO ₄²⁻ ions. Covalent or network solids consist of atoms held together by a continuous network of covalent bonds. Quartz ( SiO ₂ ) is a classic example of a covalent solid. Molecular solids are composed of discrete molecules held together by intermolecular forces. Solid CO ₂ (dry ice) is a molecular solid held together by London dispersion forces. Metallic solids consist of a lattice o
