Iodine and ice exist as molecular lattices. Iodine exists as diatomic molecules.In the solid it is a face-centred cubic lattice with the molecules held together by London Forces.
Other molecular solids are sulfur S8, white phosphorus P4, Buckminster fullerene C60.Molecular solids have low melting and boiling points as relatively little energy is needed to overcome the intermolecular forces of attraction.
