Interpretation:

The term matches with the definition or description have to be chosen.

Concept Introduction:

Crystalline solids are solid compounds with highly ordered structure of the constituents (atoms, molecules or ions). Depending on the constituents (atoms, molecules or ions), the crystalline solids are classified in three types-

1. Ionic solids
2. Molecular solids
3. Atomic solids

Answer to Problem 45A

g) Intramolecular

Intramolecular forces between atoms in a solid.

Explanation of Solution

Intramolecular attractive forces are present in atomic solids. Intramolecular attractive forces present in atomic solids is mainly covalent bonding between two atoms. This intramolecular attractive forces is very strong in atomic solids.
