Crystalline solids
Solids that have a repeating pattern of particles arranged in a three-dimensional crystal lattice.
Amorphous solids
Solids that lack a repeating pattern of particles and do not have a defined melting point.
Ionic solid
A solid composed of ions, such as table salt, that has a high melting point and conducts electricity when liquid or aqueous.
Molecular solid
Solids made up of molecules, such as water and sugar, that have intermolecular forces bonding them and are non-conductive.
Network solid
Solids like diamonds and graphite characterized by atoms bonded in a covalent network, resulting in very high melting points and non-conductivity.
Metallic solid
Solids made of metal atoms that form a 'sea' of valence electrons, allowing for varied melting points and conductivity in solid or molten states.
