• Covalent Crystals –
– Covalently bonded molecules held together by
intermolecular forces
– Soft and low melting points
4 Types of Crystalline Solids
• Covalent network Crystals–
– Each atom is covalently bonded to the atoms
surrounding it.
– Repeating pattern that creates a very large
molecule
– Very hard and brittle with high melting points
• Metallic Crystals –
– Metals cations surrounded by a sea of
electrons.
– Creates a high conductivity
