are non-molecular; they are formed of an infinite array of cations and anions that are attracted by strong electrostatic forces, which in aggregate are greater than the associated electrostatic repulsion between ions of like charges.

On the other hand, molecular materials, gases, liquids, and solids, may have marginal degrees of intermolecular attraction. The molecule is a discrete unit, that may not bind intermolecularly (i.e. gases) even though the intramolecular interaction is strong; or alternatively are reliant on some unspecified means of interaction: dispersion forces; dipole-dipole; H-.

What do I mean by $"intermolecular"$ versus $"intramolecular"$?

Can you think of a non-molecular solid that displays only covalent bonds? Hint, you might have to buy one when you propose marriage.

Do molecular substances tend to have LOWER densities than non-molecular substances?

In a molecular compound, there is little intermolecular force between molecules. Gases, certainly molecular materials, in which the space between molecules is vast, are inherently LOW materials. On the other...

Why do ionic solids have high melting points, and high boiling points?

Ionic solids are non-molecular. Each cationic particle is electrostatically bound to every anion in the solid. Of course there is electrostatic repulsion between like charges, but if you sum up...

Why do metals tend to lose electrons and nonmetals tend to gain electrons when forming ions?

Nonmetals tend to gain electrons in order to achieve a full outer shell, so they are said to have high electronegativities. Alkaline metals, for example, would find it much...
