Which among the following is a physical property of molecular solids?
Options
- AVolatile
- BQuite hard
- CBrittle
- DGood conductor of electricity
Correct answer
A. Volatile
Step-by-step solution
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).
