Absolutely horrific to learn that Miguel Alario Franco, a leading solid-state chemist from Spain, suddenly passed away yesterday. We enjoyed his presence during the last GRC only a month ago, and we will miss him, his famous humor and spectacular jokes. RIP

Bonding in the solid state can have ionic, covalent, & metallic character. Intermetallic compounds exhibit all three types of bonding, as metal elements span the periodic table and possess a diverse range of electronegativities. The van Arkel-Ketalaar Triangle explains it all! △
