Solution
The correct option is D All of the above Polar Molecular solids :
The molecules of substances like HCl(s),SO2(s),NH3(s) are formed by polar covalent bonds.
The molecules in such solids are held together by relatively stronger dipole-dipole interactions. These solids are soft and non-conductors of electricity.
Their melting points are higher than those of non polar molecular solids yet most of these are gases or liquids under room temperature and pressure.
