Question
Explain the basis of similarities between metallic and ionic crystals.
Advertisements
Solution
- Ionic and metallic crystals are similar in that they both have non-directional bonds and electrostatic forces of attraction.
- Ionic crystals have electrostatic forces between oppositely charged ions, while metallic crystals have them between valence electrons and kernels.
- Both have extremely high melting points as a result.
