Question

A compound X consists of only molecules. Hence X will have

• A. A crystalline hard structure
• B. A low melting and boiling points
• C. A strong force of attraction between its molecules
• D. An ionic bond

Answer 1

The correct option is B

A low melting and boiling points

Correct answer is B) A low melting and boiling points

Explanation of correct answer

Here compound X consists of only molecules. So the bond formed will be covalent bond

Definition of Covalent bond

A bond formed by mutual sharing of electrons of similar atoms or molecules is called covalent bond

• Covalent compound have low melting and boiling points.
• Due to the weak intermolecular force of attraction between the atoms.
• A small amount of energy is needed to overcome this. So low melting and boiling points
