Solid A is a very hard electrical insulator in solid as well as in molten state and melts at extremely high temperature. What type of solid is it?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A covalent solid is very hard and cannot conduct electricity either in solid or molten state. Due to its hard nature, it has very high melting point. So, solid A is a covalent solid.
