What type of solid is dry ice?

What type of solid is dry ice?

molecular solid

What type of solid is SiO2?

network covalent solid

What holds atoms together in a solid?

A standard ionic solid consists of atoms held together by ionic bonds, that is by the electrostatic attraction of opposite charges (the result of transferring electrons from atoms with lower electronegativity to atoms with higher electronegativity).

What energy holds atoms together?

chemical energy

What type of bonding is rubber?

covalent

What kind of solid tends to have the lowest melting points?

The molecular solid tends to have a lower melting points. Considering its properties, the molecules of this type of solid are held together by van der Waals forces rather than by ionic or covalent bonds.

What are two different types of solids?

Solids also have a definite volume; that is, they keep their size no matter how you try to change them. Solids are divided into two main categories, crystalline solids and amorphous solids, based on how the particles are arranged.

What are examples of soft solids?

Soft solids are foods that are easy to chew and have a consistent texture. Bananas, baked sweet potatoes and meat from soup, for example, are soft solids. The amount of food your son/daughter needs depends on age.

Which type of solid is silver?

metallic

Can every solid melt?

No in the sense that a material must maintain an identical chemical makeup and then change from one phase to another, not all solids have a melting point. Changing from a solid to a liquid state such as when a metal, wax or ice is heated to its melting point, or the specific temperature at which melting occurs.

Is there anything that Cannot melt?

There are some substances that go directly from solid to vapor without a liquid phase. Dry ice is one such substance that cannot melt at normal atmospheric pressure. It undergoes sublimation, turning directly from solid to gaseous state. Wood or paper does not melt too, considering normal pressure conditions.
