Question

Ions of opposite charges that are held together by a strong electrostatic force of attraction are of which type of solids?

  1. Metallic solids 
  2. Ionic solids 
  3. Non-metallic solids 
  4. Covalent solids

hintHint:

The strongest electrostatic force of attraction is seen in ionic bonding.

The correct answer is: Ionic solids


    • Ionic solids are the type of solids in which the ions of opposite charges are held together by a strong electrostatic force of attraction.
    • The ionic compound or solids are those compounds that are composed of ions. They have opposite charges that are joined together by the help of strong forces known as the electrostatic force of attraction. 
    • Overall they are neutral, as they consist of an equal proportion of positive ions as well as negative ions. The positively charged ions are known as cations and negatively charged ions are called anions. 

    Examples of ionic compounds are hydroxides, sulphides, salts, etc.
