he were asked to consider the three basic categories of atomic solids. So first off will write those out. So they're non bonding solids. There are metallic atomic solids in their network surveillance solids. We want to think about each of the forces that hold these things together. So non bonding atomic solids, as the name implies, we're not dealing with the traditional type of bonding here. So these are mainly going to be held together by dispersion forces. He's going to be random die, Paul moments, slate, moments of polarity that we're just going to help these things stay together enough to keep them in their solid lattice. This is Converse if we think about metallic solids that are actually gonna be held together, ironically by metallic bonds, so metallic bonds or a little bit different. This is where we get into band theory and the idea that the orbital's of each of these metal atoms sort of mesh together and ultimately formed this sea of electrons that helps to hold all the metal atoms together inside the solid, and then a network. Oh Vaillant solid is held together by Covalin bonds, so we have physical bonds between the atoms that are actually holding them together within this solid, and maintaining the structure of the specific solid
