Step by Step Solution
Step 1 of 2
Consider the given molecules as follows:
These oxides of third period elements are in their highest oxidation states. Since the melting points of ionic crystals are relatively high and the bonding nature in these molecules are ionic, the molecules comes under ionic crystals.
