1. Types of bonds in solids: There are four main types of bonding in solids. Each type has a characteristic arrangement of the valence electrons in a solid.
For small group or whole class discussion
Can be projected by the instructor or printed
2. Bonding and properties: All solids consist of a large collection of atoms arranged in three dimensions. Imagine how valence electrons in specific locations hold all those atoms together. The properties of solids are directly related to the locations of the valence electrons.
