Examples of Molecular Solids
Several classes of molecular solids can be distinguished (see table right). The vast majority of molecular solids can be attributed to organic compounds containing carbon and hydrogen, such as hydrocarbons (CnHm). Spherical molecules consisting of different number of carbon atoms, that is fullerenes, are another important class. Less numerous, yet distinctive molecular solids are halogens (e.g. Cl2) and their compounds with hydrogen (HCl), as well as light chalcogens (O2) and pnictogens (N2).

“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
