So there was this question:
Which sample demonstrates particles arranged in a regular geometric pattern?
A. CO2(g)
B. CO2(s)
C. CO2(l)
D. CO2(aq)
E. None of the above
I chose E because I thought that covalent molecules, when solid, would be arranged in a random pattern, especially since this is a non-polar molecule. But apparently they will be arranged in a regular geometric pattern because the answer is B. So could someone confirm the answer and also tell me when solids have regular geometric pattern? Are there any rules?
