Example

 

Answer 1

The metallic bond is somewhat weaker than the ionic and covalent bond. Ionic bonds are strong electrostatic attraction forces formed between positive and negative ions.Like hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces rely on dipoles, a difference in charge between two molecules.

In solids, the atoms, ions or molecules are arranged in an ordered and symmetrical pattern.
