Chapter 9, Problem 49QRT
On the basis of the description given, classify each of these solids as molecular, metallic, ionic, network, or amorphous, and explain your reasoning.
- (a) A soft, slippery solid that has no definite melting point but decomposes at temperatures above 250 °C; the solid does not conduct electricity
- (b) Violet crystals that melt at 114 °C and whose vapor irritates the nose; neither the solid nor the liquid conducts electricity
- (c) Hard, colorless crystals that melt at 2800 °C; the liquid conducts electricity, but the solid does not
- (d) A hard solid that melts at 3410 °C; both the solid and the liquid conduct electricity
