Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is

a. a compound that conducts electricity when molten

Explanation:

A molecular is solid comprises of a collection of molecules combined together by van der Waals forces and not having covalent or ionic bonds. They are made up of forces atoms or molecules combined by dipole-dipole forces, London dispersion forces or hydrogen bonds. Exmples include graphite and diamonds. The forces between the molecules in  molecular solid is also known as intermolecular forces (IMFs)
