To classify the given solids based on the nature of intermolecular forces operating in them, we will categorize them into four main types: ionic solids, metallic solids, molecular solids, and covalent (network) solids. Let's analyze each solid one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Potassium Sulphate (K₂SO₄)**: - **Classification**: Ionic Solid - **Intermolecular Forces**: Ionic bonds (electrostatic forces between cations and anions). ...
