Q35 / 180 · KCET 2010 · Chemistry
Which one of the following is a molecular crystal?
- ARock salt
- BQuartz
- Correct answerCDry ice
- DDiamond
Solution
In dry ice (solid $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ ), constituents are molecules. The various molecules are held together through weak forces like dipole-dipole interaction, dipole-induced dipole interaction etc, thus it is an molecular crystal.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
