The ionic character of any compound depend on the lattice energy as well as the electronegativity of element present in that compound.
More would be the lattice energy more would be ionic nature of that compound.
The lattice energy of any compound is inversely proportional to the ionic radii cation and anion.
In given case the ionic radii of oxide in both oxides would be equal therefore the lattice energy only depend on the ionic radii of cation.
As the radii of Magnesium less then radii of lithium therefore lattice energy of Magnesium oxide would be more than lithium oxide.
Hence, MgO would be more ionic in nature than 
First of all, there are five types of solid materials:
Metallic solids which are solids composed of metal atoms that are held together by metallic bonds.
Network solid is a chemical compound in which the atoms are bonded by covalent bonds in a continuous network extending throughout the material.
Molecular solid is a solid consisting of discrete molecules.
Ionic solid is a chemical compound composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonding.
Amorphous solid is non-crystalline solid that lacks the long-range order that is characteristic of a crystal.
Now, after the defined all the types of solid materials in the equation lets to solve it.
A. the answer is the network solids, because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent are typically characterized by hardness, strength, and high melting points.
B. the answer is the metallic solids, due to that heat conduction occurs when a substance is heated and the particles will gain more energy vibrating more. These molecules then bump into nearby particles and transfer some of their energy to them and in metals this process have a higher probability than in the case of other solids due to the nature of the chemical bonds. It also has a range of hardness due to the strength of metallic bonds which varies dramatically.
C. the answer is the ionic solid; due to positive and negative ions which are bonded to form a crystalline solid held together by charge attractions.

Using Models to Answer Questions About Systems
Armando’s class was looking at images of rivers formed by flowing water. Most of the rivers were wide and shallow, but one river was narrow and deep. Armando’s class thinks that this river is narrow and deep because:
- the hill that the water flowed down was very steep, or
- the sand grains that the water flowed through were very small.
Armando designed the model below to try to answer the question: Why is this river so narrow and deep?
Explanation:
The model designed by Armando will be helpful to answer the question because of the following features it possesses:
1. An adjustable leg- since one of the hypotheses put forward by the class to explain why the river was narrow and deep was that the hill that the water flowed down was very steep, the adjustable legs can be lowered or raised in order to make the slope shallower or steeper so that their hypothesis can be tested.
2. A table of sand- the table of sand serves as the streambed. By adjusting the size of the sand grains to be larger or smaller, the students will be able to to test their second hypothesis that the small size sand grains that the water flowed through was the reason for the river to be narrow and deep.
The results of their experiments will enable them to come to a conclusion.
Ideal solutions obey Raoult's law, which states that:
P_i = x_i*(P_pure)_i
where
P_i is the partial pressure of component i above a solution
x_i is the mole fraction of component i in the solution
(P_pure)_i is the vapor pressure of pure component i
In this case,
P_benzene = 0.59 * 745 torr = 439.6 torr
P_toluene = (1-0.59) * 290 torr = 118.9 torr
The total vapor pressure above the solution is the sum of the vapor pressures of the individual components:
P_total = (439.6 + 118.9) torr = 558.5 torr
Assuming the gas phase also behaves ideally, the partial pressure of each gas in the vapor phase is proportional to its molar concentration, so the mole fraction of toluene in the vapor phase is:
118.9 torr/558.5 torr = 0.213
