Explanation:
Ionic crystals
1. They are formed by electrostatic attraction between the cation and anion.
2. Naturally solid and brittle in nature.
3.Generally good conductors of electricity in moltane state and have high melting and boiling points.
Example: NH4Cl is an inonic compound with NH4^+ being cation and Cl- being anion.
Molecular Solid
1. These are formed by sharing of electrons pair between the atoms. A shared pair of e- is called a covalent bond.
2. Usually not a good conductor of electricity even in melted state.
3. They mostly liquids and gases only a few are solids.
examples , CO, CO2 , H2CO3 , etc.
