Which of the following statements is not consistent with the properties of a molecular solid?
A)a compound that conducts electricity when molten
B)a low melting solid
C)a solid formed by the combination of two nonmetallic elements
D)a solid that is a nonconductor of electricity

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Molecular solids are made up of nonmetallic elements that are covalently bonded. They tend to have low melting points and are nonconductors of electricity. The statement in option A is inconsistent with the properties of a molecular solid as it suggests that the compound can conduct electricity when molten, which indicates that the compound dissociates into ions.
