Which one of the following is a molecular crystal?
- A Rock salt
- B Quartz
- C Dry ice
- D Diamond
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Dry ice
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In dry ice (solid \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) ), constituents are molecules. The various molecules are held together through weak forces like dipole-dipole interaction, dipole-induced dipole interaction etc, thus it is an molecular crystal.
