Question

Dry ice is an example of molecular solid.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• In molecular solids, molecules are held together by van der Waals forces.
• In dry ice, the crystal lattice consists of carbon dioxide molecules rather than individual atoms of carbon or oxygen which results in the molecular crystal structure.
• Here, the molecules are held together by weak van der Waals forces.
• Hence, the given statement is true.
