Question
a solid is brittle and has entirely bonded atoms, as seen in the particle model. what type of solid is it? molecular ionic network metallic
Brief Explanations
The solid is brittle and has a continuous 3D structure of bonded atoms (no discrete molecules). Network solids (e.g., diamond, silica) have such a giant covalent network, are brittle, and lack discrete molecules. Molecular solids have weak intermolecular forces, ionic solids have ions, and metallic solids are malleable—none match the given model’s features.
