    The document discusses different types of solid physical structures including giant metallic lattices, giant ionic structures, giant molecular structures, and simple molecular structures. It notes that metals have a crystalline structure visible under a microscope and are composed of a lattice of positive ions in a sea of electrons. Alloys are formed by mixing molten metals together and allowing them to cool, resulting in new materials with properties different from the individual metals.

    TYPES OF SOLID PHYSICAL


    STRUCTURES
    Giant metallic lattice

    Giant ionic structure


    Giant molecular stucture
    Simple molecular structure

    Giant metallic structure


    A lattice of positive ions in a sea of electrons

    Giant ionic lattice


    A lattice of alternating positive and negative

    ions

    Giant molecular lattice


    A giant molecule (macromolecule) making the

    lattice

    Simple molecular lattice


    Simple molecules in a lattice being held

    together by weak forces.

    Metal crystals
    Metals have a very crystalline structure which

    can be seen under a microscope.

    Alloys
    Alloys are formed by mixing molten metals

    together thoroughly and then allowing them


    to cool.
