1.6 Classify the following solids in different categories based on the nature of Intermolecular forces operating in them:

<p><strong>1.6 </strong>Potassium sulphate, tin, benzene, urea, ammonia, water, zinc sulphide, graphite, rubidium, argon, silicon carbide. Solids have been classified into different categories based on chemical bonding. The chemical bonding depends on the intermolecular forces of attraction between the atoms.<br><strong>a) </strong>Potassium sulphate →Ionic solid<br><strong>b)</strong> Tin→ Metallic solid<br><strong>c) </strong>Benzene→ Molecular (non-polar) solid<br><strong>d)</strong> Urea→ Polar molecular solid</p><p><strong>e)</strong> Ammonia→ Solid ammonia is a hydrogen-bonded molecular solid which is also known as polar molecular solid<br><strong>f) </strong>Water→ Hydrogen bonded molecular solid<br><strong>g) </strong>Zinc sulphide→ Ionic solid<br><strong>h)</strong> Graphite→ Covalent or network solid<br><strong>i)</strong> Rubidium→ Metallic solid<br><strong>j)</strong> Argon→ Non-polar molecular solid<br><strong>k)</strong> Silicon carbide →Covalent or network solid</p>
