Solution
The correct option is B
A low melting point and boiling point
Explanation:
The compound X is made up of a molecule. So, the compound is a covalent compound.
Covalent compounds are those compounds that are formed by one or more than one covalent bond.
Covalent bonds are those bonds that are formed by mutual sharing of electrons between the atoms have similar electronegativities or have small differences in electronegativity.
In the covalent compounds, the intermolecular forces are of varied nature and are usually weak and can be easily overcome by applying a small amount of heat.
Hence, compound X has a low melting and boiling points.
