Molecular Matters Polar and Non-Polar Solids

The video tutorial explains molecular solids, which are solids with molecules as constituent particles held together by intermolecular forces. These are classified into non-polar, polar, and hydrogen-bonded molecular solids. Non-polar molecular solids, like noble gases and non-polar molecules, are soft, have low melting points, and are poor conductors. Polar molecular solids, such as hydrogen chloride and solid ammonia, have strong dipole-dipole interactions, are generally soft, have higher melting points, and are non-conductors of heat and electricity.
