Molecules are the constituent particles of molecular solids. These are further sub divided into the three categories: 1.Non polar Molecular Solids 2.Polar Molecular Solids: 3.Hydrogen Bonded Molecular Solids HCl, H 2 O(Ice), CCl 4 are examples of molecular solids. Silicon dioxide is a covalent, three-dimensional network solid in which each silicon atom is covalently bonded in a tetrahedral manner to four oxygen atoms. Each oxygen atom in turn covalently bonded to another silicon atoms as shown in diagram .Each corn
