Answer
Both P and R
Reason — Molecular compounds usually have weak intermolecular forces, leading to low boiling points. Molecular compounds typically do not form ions in solution (unless they’re acids or bases). So their solutions are usually non-conducting. Most covalent compounds are insoluble in water, unless they are polar.
