Among molecular solids, substances with weaker intermolecular forces typically have lower boiling points. For example, simple molecular solids like iodine (I₂) or dry ice (solid carbon dioxide, CO₂) exhibit relatively low boiling points compared to those with stronger hydrogen bonding or dipole-dipole interactions. Therefore, a molecular solid like carbon dioxide would generally have a lower boiling point than more complex or polar molecular solids.
