Question

Which of the following is an example of polar molecular solid?

• A. $S{O}_2\left(s\right)$
• B. $N{H}_3\left(s\right)$
• C. $HCl\left(s\right)$
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Polar Molecular solids :
The molecules of substances like $HCl\left(s\right),S{O}_2\left(s\right),N{H}_3\left(s\right)$ 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.
Example :
Dipole-Dipole interactions in $HCl$

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
