Introduced to this in AP Chemistry
Types of solids
Ionic: Consists of Metal + non-metal has electrostatic attractions Metallic: Consists of Metal and has metallic bonding
Covalent Network
Exception: non-metal or metalloids covalent network, semi-metal with non metal is covalent network the only exception is bond with hydrogen as hydrogen can’t bond any further
Network only happens with metalloid and has to be bonded with something other than hydrogen
