Potassium sulphate → Ionic solid

Tin → Metallic solid

Benzene → Molecular (non-polar) solid

Urea → Polar molecular solid

Ammonia → Polar molecular solid

Water → Hydrogen bonded molecular solid Zinc sulphide → Ionic solid

Graphite → Covalent or network solid Rubidium → Metallic solid

Argon → Non-polar molecular solid

Silicon carbide → Covalent or network solid
