A. Molecular solids tend to have lower melting points than Ionic so it would be Ionic if it weren't for Molecular.

Answer:

A. Molecular solids

Explanation:

Bonds between two or more molecules is the force of attraction between the molecules. If the force of attraction is strong between the molecules then the matter must be solid.

If the force of attraction is very weak then in that case the material is liquid and for more weak force we can say that the material is gas.

So here melting point depends on the force of attraction in which if the force is more then the melting point must be high. So here for lowest melting point we need to find a material in which the force of attraction is weak.

So out of all given option the weak attraction force is only in

A. Molecular solids

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to energy conservation. From this conservation we will find the magnitude of the amplitude. Later for the second part, we will need to find the period, from which it will be possible to obtain the speed of the body.
