Solid CH4 is
a) ionic solid. b)covalent solid
c) molecular solid. d) does not exist
Dear Student
In CH4 molecule there exists strong covalent bond between the atoms of each methane molecule whereas, in solid CH4 there exists weak van der waals forces between different methane molecules which is a characterstic of molecula solid. Therefore if we talk about solid CH4 option (c) is the correct option.
