Question

Decide whether the compound is ionic or molecular, if you can.

A Compound is a deep red solid with a noticeable unpleasant smell. It dissolves slightly in water, and a solution of in of water doesn't change the electrical conductivity of the water.

Answer 1

Answer:

Molecular solid

Explanation:

A molecular solid has a low melting point, they are soft and do not conduct electricity.

We have been told in the question that the solid does not really dissolve in water and it's solution does not improve the electrical conductivity of water. Hence, it must be a molecular solid.
