Hydrogen bonds

13.

At room temperature I2(s) is a molecular solid. Which of the following provides a characteristic of I2(s) with a correct explanation?

a)

It has a high melting point because it has weak intermolecular forces.

b)

It is hard because it forms a threedimensional covalent network.

c)

It is not a good conductor of electricity because its valence electrons are localized in bonding and nonbonding pairs.

d)

It is very soluble in water because its molecules are polar.
