Correct answer: Anisotropy- 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.
Correct answer: Covalent solids- A. Electrical conductance
- B. Thermal conductance
- C. Molar mass

Correct answer: Molar mass- A. Cleavage planes
- B. Refractory planes
- C. Sagittal planes
- D. Coronal planes
Explanation: In the context of crystalline solids, cleavage planes refer to specific planes along which a crystal can break or split easily.
Correct answer: Cleavage planes- A. Rhombic
- B. Hexagonal
- C. Tetragonal
- D. Trigonal
Explanation: Graphite is hexagonal because its carbon atoms form hexagonal rings in flat layers, with each atom sp² hybridized and bonded to three…
Correct answer: Hexagonal- A. Conductor
- B. Non - conductor
