Chapter 10, Problem 13ALQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The carbon molecular solid properties should be identified given the phosphorus and sulfur molecules.

Concept Introduction:

Molecular Solids: The many of solid molecules are together by van-der wales interactions; there is no ionic, metallic or covalent bonds between the molecules. The force of interactions is very week compared to the other forces.

Bonding nature of Solids: The hydrogen bond is a specific dipole where a hydrogen atom has a partial positive charge due to a neighboring electronegative atom of functional group.

Thermal properties of solids: The many of molecular solids have many thermal properties, for example specific heat capacity, thermal expansion and thermal conductance, this thermal properties are determined by the intra and intermolecular vibrations of the atoms and molecules of the molecular solid.
