Halides in which halogen atoms act as a bridge between two atoms of the other element are called___________________?
Correct answer: C. Polymeric halides
- A. Covalent halides
- B. Electronegative halides
- C. Polymeric halides
- D. Polymeric hydrides
Explanation
When halogen atoms bridge between atoms of another element, the halide species form extended chains or networks, so they are called polymeric halides. The likely distractor is a, covalent halides, because the bridges may involve covalent bonds, but that name does not specifically describe the polymeric structure.

About Ionic and Molecular Crystals
Ionic crystals contain oppositely charged ions held by electrostatic forces, whereas molecular crystals contain discrete molecules joined by weaker intermolecular forces. Their structures explain differences in melting point, hardness, volatility, solubility and electrical conductivity, especially between solid and molten states.
