MCQ
Solid methane is
  • Molecular solid
  • B
    Ionic solid
  • C
    Covalent solid
  • D
    Not possible

Answer

Correct option: A.
Molecular solid
a
In $CH _4$ molecule there exists strong covalent bond between the atoms of each methane molecule whereas, in solid $CH _4$ there exists weak van der waals forces between different methane molecules which is a characterstic of molecula solid. Therefore if we talk about solid $CH _4$ option $A$ is the correct option.
