a) CH4 - simple molecular
b) Mg - metallic bonding
c) SiO2 - giant covalent
d) CaBr2 - ionic bonding
e) Ar
- van der Waals'

That's what I got so far :smile:

You're missing the structures for b, d & e. You're missing the bonding (i.e. I'd suggest naming the IMF) for a. I'd tell you them, but I bet you know them.

The plural of formula is formulae.
