Which is a solid at normal temperature?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a I₂
  2. b C₂H₅OH
  3. c HBr
  4. d NH₃
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a I₂

Iodine (I₂) is one of the book's solid covalent molecules.

Why the other options are wrong

  • b C₂H₅OH: Ethanol is a liquid at normal temperature.
  • c HBr: The book does not give HBr's state; its solid example is I₂.
  • d NH₃: NH₃ is a gas at normal temperature. The answer the book supports is I₂.
