Which among the following is a physical property of molecular solids?
- A Volatile
- B Quite hard
- C Brittle
- D Good conductor of electricity
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Volatile
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
A molecular solid is composed of molecules held together by van der Waals' forces. Its properties are dictated by the weak nature of these intermolecular forces. Thus, molecular solids are soft and often volatile. Hence, the correct option is (1).
