non-polar organic solid?

Question

Hi, I'm tryna think of an example of a non-polar organic solid compound... can you guys think of anything?

thanks

right.. but i need one that has a definate structure (which can be drawn) and is non-polar!

Answer 1

Any alkane with 18 or more carbons is both non-polar and solid at room temperature.

Triacontane for example CH3 (CH2)28 CH3 has a melting point of 65-67C

My apologies for missing something so basic as compounds requiring more than one element (diamonds do have more than one element, but it is not uniform in their structure). I hope this answer suits your needs.

Answer 2

Diamond is not a compound.

Candle wax (a high Mr alkane) is an example of a non-polar organic solid.
