Which type of solid ls called as atomic solid?
Correct answer: A. Covalent solids
- A. Covalent solids
- B. Ionic solids
- C. Metallic solids
- D. Molecular solids
Explanation
Covalent solids is called as atomic solid because covalent solids are composed of atoms held together by covalent bonds. In these solids, the atoms share electrons to form a network structure, creating a strong and directional bonding.

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.
