give three different type of molecular solid with example?
Answers
Answer:
Molecular solids are solids that are essentially collections of molecules held together by intermolecular forces (IMFs). ... Examples include ice (solid water), dry ice (solid CO2), solid iodine, and napthalene to name a few.
Answer:
Molecular solid are of 3 types
1) Non polar- Here London force exists between constituent molecules (eg: Iodine, Neon , CO2). They are soft and have low melting point and are insulators.
2) Polar - They have Dipole - Dipole interactions
(eg: HCl, SO2)
They too are soft, have low melting points and are insulators
3).Hydrogen Bonded - They obviously have Hydrogen Bond.
(eg: HF, ice, NH3)
They are hard but have low melting points and are insulators
ALL MOLECULAR SOLIDS HAVE MOLECULES AS THEIR CONSTITUENT PARTICLE.
