Types of structures
Ionic
Salt
Uses
"Salt has long been used for flavoring and for preserving food. It has also been used in tanning, dyeing and bleaching, and the production of pottery, soap, and chlorine. Today, it is widely used in the chemical industry" [medicalnewstoday.com]

Lithium chloride
Uses
"Lithium chloride is mainly used for the production of lithium metal by electrolysis of a LiCl/KCl melt at 450 °C (842 °F). LiCl is also used as a brazing flux for aluminium in automobile parts. It is used as a desiccant for drying air streams." [wikipedia]

Diamond
-
Uses
-
They are used for cutting glass , drilling rocks and in expensive watches.
-
As a die,diamonds are used for drawing tungsten wires.
-
Metallic
Iron
Iron is a shiny, bright white metal that is soft, malleable, ductile and strong. Rusts when in contact with oxygen.
Uses
Iron is useful when constructing, engineering, and building. It is also useful for creating other alloys such as nickel, chromium, tungsten, and manganese.
-
Gold
Uses
"Gold alloys are used for fillings, crowns, bridges, and orthodontic appliances. Gold is used in dentistry because it is chemically inert, non-allergenic, and easy for the dentist to work." [geology.com]

Carbon monoxide
"Produced industrially for use in the manufacture of numerous organic and inorganic chemical products; it is also present in the exhaust gases of internal-combustion engines and furnaces as a result of incomplete conversion of carbon" [britannica.com]

Methane
"[Methane is lighter than air, having a specific gravity of 0.554. It is only slightly soluble in water. It burns readily in air, forming carbon dioxide and water vapour; the flame is pale, slightly luminous, and very hot. The boiling point of methane is −162 °C (−259.6 °F) and the melting point is −182.5 °C (−296.5 °F)]" [britannica.com]
"Methane is an odorless, colorless, flammable gas. It is used primarily as fuel to make heat and light. It is also used to manufacture organic chemicals. Methane can be formed by the decay of natural materials and is common in landfills, marshes, septic systems and sewers." [https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov › chemical › methane]
Ammonia
"Ammonia is also used as a refrigerant gas, for purification of water supplies, and in the manufacture of plastics, explosives, textiles, pesticides, dyes and other chemicals. It is found in many household and industrial-strength cleaning solutions." [https://www.health.ny.gov › emergency › chemical_terrorism › ammonia_tech]
"Ammonia is a colourless gas with a characteristic pungent smell. It is lighter than air, its density being 0.589 times that of air. It is easily liquefied due to the strong hydrogen bonding between molecules; the liquid boils at −33.3 °C (−27.94 °F), and freezes at −77.7 °C (−107.86 °F) to white crystals." [wikipedia.com]

Graphite
-
Uses
"Graphite is used in paints and pencils and when suspended in oil it is used as a lubricant for bearings. High-purity graphite bricks are used as moderators in atomic and nuclear reactors. Graphite in the form of coke is produced by heating soft coal in an oxygen-starved furnace." [sciencing.com]
