उत्तर
| Ionic solids | Molecular solids |
| 1. The constituent particles are charged ions (cations and anions). | 1. The constituent particles are monoatomic or polyatomic molecules |
| 2. The constituent particles are held by the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions. | 2. The constituent particles are held by intermolecular forces of attractions such as London forces, dipole-dipole forces and/or hydrogen bonds. |
| 3. They are hard and brittle. | 3. They are soft. |
| 4. They have high melting points. | 4. They have low melting points. |
