Iodine molecules are held in the crystals lattice by ........ .
1. London forces.
2. Dipole-dipole interactions.
3. Covalent bonds.
4. Coulombic forces.
(1) HINT: Iodine is non-polar molecular solids.
Explanation:
lodine molecules are a class of non-polar molecular solid in which constituents molecules are held together by London or dispersion forces. These solids are soft and non-conductor of electricity.
