Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The substance that is gray-white solid, melts at 1650°C, electrically conductive as both a solid and a liquid, but not soluble in either water or any organic solvent is to be classified.

Concept introduction:

Substances are classified on the basis of the kinds of bonding present in it. There are three types of substances.

  • Ionic substances
  • Molecular substances
  • Metallic substances

Molecular substances have covalent bonds between the atoms, ionic substances have electrostatic forces between the ions, and metallic substances have metallic bonds.
