Q20 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2024 (19 May Shift 2) · Chemistry

Some substances are given below: $\mathrm{Ag}: \mathrm{CO}_2(\mathrm{~s}): \mathrm{SiO}_2 ; \mathrm{ZnS}$ $\mathrm{SO}_2$ (s); $\mathrm{AlN}: \mathrm{HCl}(\mathrm{s}) ; \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ (s) The number of molecular solids and network solids in the above list is respectively

  • A
    3,3
  • B
    2,4
  • C
    1,4
  • Correct answer
    D
    4,2

Solution

$\mathrm{Ag} \rightarrow$ Metallic solid $\mathrm{ZnS} \rightarrow$ Ionic solid $\mathrm{CO}_2 \rightarrow$ Molecular solid $\mathrm{SO}_2 \rightarrow$ Molecular solid $\mathrm{HCl} \rightarrow$ Molecular solid $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \rightarrow$ Molecular solid $\mathrm{SiO}_2 \rightarrow$ Network solid A1N $\rightarrow$ Network solid

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
