Ice is an example of _.
Correct answer: A. Polar molecular solid
- A. Polar molecular solid
- B. Non-polar molecular solid
- C. Ionic solid
- D. Covalent solid
Explanation
Solids in which atoms and molecules are held together by intermolecular forces are called molecular solids. Hydrogen bonded molecular solids contain polar covalent bonds this ice is a familiar example of polar molecular solid.

About Ionic and Molecular Crystals
Ionic crystals contain oppositely charged ions held by electrostatic forces, whereas molecular crystals contain discrete molecules joined by weaker intermolecular forces. Their structures explain differences in melting point, hardness, volatility, solubility and electrical conductivity, especially between solid and molten states.
