Decide whether the compound is ionic or molecular, if you can. A Compound is a deep red solid with a noticeable unpleasant smell. It dissolves slightly in water, and a solution of in of water doesn't change the electrical conductivity of the water.

Molecular solid

Explanation:

A molecular solid has a low melting point, they are soft and do not conduct electricity.

We have been told in the question that the solid does not really dissolve in water and it's solution does not improve the electrical conductivity of water. Hence, it must be a molecular solid.

water   molecules stay close to each other through cohesion, the collective action of hydrogen bonds between water molecules. cohesion plants draw water upwards from the root through the stem's transport tubes (xylem) to the leaf. this transport occurs even in large trees and against gravity. transpiration, evaporation of water from plant leaves, creates a tension on water molecules being pulled up from the stem and roots.

water also has high (the attraction of one substance to another) properties because of its polar nature. adhesion of water molecules to plant cell walls counteract gravity while water is transported from roots to leaves.

water exhibits a very high surface tension when compared to other liquids. surface tension is a property of a liquid that holds the surface together and allows it to resist an external force. by capillary action, the water forms concave menisci inside the pores. the high surface tension of water pulls the concavity outwards, generating enough force to lift water from the roots to the leaves of plants.

thus, cohesion, along with adhesion and surface tension creates a capillary action that keeps water molecules interacting and moving through the plants out to the leaf cells.

therefore, option d) is the correct answer.
