What are molecular solids?
Short Answer
Advertisements
Solution
Molecular solids are composed of molecules held together by intermolecular forces rather than strong covalent or ionic bonds. These forces include van der Waals forces, dipole-dipole interactions, and hydrogen bonds. The characteristics of molecular solids differ significantly from those of conventional crystalline solids because of the weak van der Waals forces present.
