Molecular Solids

026 - Molecular Solids

In this video Paul Andersen describes the structure and explains the properties of molecular solids. High intramolecular forces hold electrons and reduce conductivity, whereas low intermolecular forces decrease the melting point. Important polymers can be formed from monomers and have both commercial and biological value.
