In solids, molecules are tightly packed and only oscillate about their fixed positions. Nature of bonding and forces that hold particles (atom, molecules, ions, etc.) together in a solid explain its properties. Solids can be classified as metallic, covalent, ionic or molecular, based on the types of intermolecular forces present in them.
