The rare gas solids, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon, are perhaps the most elementary examples of the class of molecular solids. These solids are characterized as weakly bound insulators with filled electronic shells and spherically symmetric charge distributions. They solidify into the cubic close-packed structure and have low melting points.
