Question

Explain the term Molecular solids.

Answer 1

Molecular solid is a solid made up of molecules .
They have strong bondings between them
For example
Hydrogen bonding , dipole dipole attraction

Answer 2

Molecular solids are the collection of molecules which are intact with the help of intermolecular forces.

It maintains the solid structure without any bonds through IMFs.

However, the forces that are used to hold up the solid structure is not that stronger as compared to others which end up with the lower melting points. Eg – dry ice, ice, etc.
