Isomorphism is exhibited by
Correct answer: C. Ionic Crystals
- A. Molecular crystals
- B. Covalent solids
- C. Ionic Crystals
- D. Metallic solids
Explanation
Isomorphism is exhibited by ionic crystal. As the crystals are similar in shape and the forces within and between molecules and ions are approximately similar and as a result the ionic crystal have same internal structure.Example are sodium nitrate and calcium citrate.

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.
