Polar molecular solids are _________(a) bad conductors of electricity(b) good conductors of electricity(c) solid at room temperature(d) brittleI got this question in homework.This intriguing question comes from Classification of Crystalline Solids topic in section Solid State of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The CORRECT option is (a) BAD conductors of ELECTRICITY

Best explanation: In polar MOLECULAR solids, the molecules are formed by covalent bonds and held together by strong dipole-dipole interaction. Therefore, polar molecular solids are non-conductors of electricity.
