Molecular crystals:
The force binding the molecules together are of two types (i) Dipole-Dipole Interaction and (ii) Vanderwaal's forces.
Metallic crystals:
The force that binding this type is known as metallic bond.
Ionic crystals:
Ionic crystals are held together by Coulomb forces of attraction.
Covalent compounds have low boiling points.
