A solid may be made up of_________________?
Correct answer: D. A, B, and C
- A. Atoms
- B. Ions
- C. Molecules
- D. A, B, and C
Explanation
Solids may be atomic, ionic, or molecular depending on the particles occupying their lattice or structure. For example, metals contain atoms, sodium chloride contains ions, and iodine contains molecules, so all three types are possible. Students may choose one of options a, b, or c by treating one type as the definition of every solid.

About Crystalline Solids
Crystalline solids contain particles arranged in a regular repeating lattice described by a unit cell. Their study includes coordination number, packing efficiency, density, anisotropy, cleavage, polymorphism and common crystal systems, along with ionic, molecular, covalent network and metallic crystals. Crystalline order differs from the random arrangement of amorphous solids.
