What distinguishes molecular solids from other types of crystalline solids?




A) In contrast to alternate crystal lattices, the molecular solids form strong, ionicly-bonded structures of atoms and ions.




B) Unlike other crystalline structures, molecular solids are formed form atoms that share their electrons among all bonded atoms.




C) Molecular solids are composed of individual, covalently-bonded molecules attracted to each other through intermolecular forces.




D) Alternate lattice structures do not consist of oppositely charged diatomic ions that are attracted through electrostatic attraction.
