Presentation Transcript

  1. Molecular Solids

  2. Learning Objectives After completing this content, you will able: • Explain polar molecular solids, non-polar molecular solids and hydrogen bonded molecular solids.

  3. Non polar Molecular Solids • They comprise of either atoms, for example, argon and helium or the molecules formed by non polar covalent bonds for example H2, Cl2 and I2. • In these solids, the atoms or molecules are held by weak dispersion forces or London forces.

  4. These solids are soft and non-conductors of electricity. • They have low melting points and are usually in liquid or gaseous state at room temperature and pressure. They are less soluble in polar solvent.

  5. Polar Molecular Solids • The molecules of substances like HCl, SO2, etc. are formed by polar covalent bonds.

  6. 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. Solid SO2 and solid NH3 are some examples of such solids.

  7. Hydrogen Bonded Molecular Solids • The molecules of such solids contain polar covalent bonds between H and F, O or N atoms. • Strong hydrogen bonding binds molecules of such solids like H2O • (ice). They are non-conductors of electricity. Generally they are • volatile liquids or soft solids under room temperature and pressure. Hydrogen Bond Note- Red ball= Oxygen atom Yellow ball= Hydrogen atom
