Question
Iodine exists as
- polar molecular solid
- ionic solid
- nonpolar molecular solid
- hydrogen bonded molecular solid
Advertisements
Solution
Non-polar molecular solid
In case of iodine, the atoms are held together by weak London forces or van der Waal forces, so it exists as a non-polar molecular solid.
