Vedclass · Answer

(D) Network solids (also known as covalent solids) are formed by the formation of covalent bonds between adjacent atoms throughout the crystal. $AlN$,diamond,$ZnS$,and $SiO_2$ are network solids. (Note: $ZnS$ is often classified as a network solid due to its covalent character). Thus,the number of network solids is $4$. Ionic solids are formed by the three-dimensional arrangement of cations and anions held by strong electrostatic forces. $CaF_2$,$MgO$,and $NaCl$ are ionic solids. Thus,the number of ionic solids is $3$. $H_2O$ (ice) and $CCl_4$ are molecular solids. $Cu$ and $Ag$ are metallic solids. Therefore,the number of network solids and ionic solids is $4$ and $3$ respectively.

The number of network solids and ionic solids in the list given below is respectively $H_2O$ (ice),$AlN$,$Cu$,$CaF_2$,diamond,$MgO$,$CCl_4$,$ZnS$,$Ag$,$NaCl$,$SiO_2$.
