The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which type of molecular solid produces a small amount of electricity upon heating, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Question**: The question asks for the type of molecular solid that generates electricity when heated. We have four options to consider: piezoelectric, pyroelectric, ferrielectric, and ferroelectric. 2. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option A: Piezoelectric**: These materials generate an electric charge in response to applied mechanical stress. They do not produce electricity solely from heating. - **Option B: Pyroelectric**: These materials generate an electric charge when they are heated or cooled. This matches the requirement of the question. - **Option C: Ferrielectric**: This term is not commonly used in the context of solid-state physics. There is no known class of materials categorized as ferrielectric. - **Option D: Ferroelectric**: These materials have a spontaneous electric polarization that can be reversed by applying an external electric field. They do not specifically produce electricity from heating. 3. **Identify the Correct Answer**: Based on the analysis, the only option that describes a solid that produces electricity upon heating is **Option B: Pyroelectric**. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer to the question is **pyroelectric**. ### Final Answer: **Option B: Pyroelectric** ---
