Phosphorus - covalent network Argon - covalent molecular
Such compounds can have either a giant or a simple molecular structure. Cellulose is an example of a material with a giant structure, and carbon monoxide has a very simple one.
A possible compound would be silicon dioxide with giant covalent structure and strong covalent bonds.
The type of covalent bond in a diamond is a 'giant covalent' bond in a crystalline structure. Actually, I think it's called a covalent network solid. I don't think chemists and physicists would like to use a layman's term like "giant".
Argon is a noble gas. There are no covalent bonds
The giant structure involve an enormous number of atoms.
silicon (IV) oxide or silicon dioxide has giant covalent structure
Phosphorus - covalent network Argon - covalent molecular
Silica

Silicon (like carbon) can form covalent bonds, it forms a giant molecule with the diamond structure. Silicon dioxide is also a giant structure with polar covalent bonds. Silica reacts with basic oxides to form silicates- and these are generally giant structures, polar covalent bonds again, that form a very large proportion of the minerals in the earths crust.

The covalent radius of argon is 106 +/- 10 picometers.
the covalent radius of argon is 97 pico meter
yes, it is bonded in a giant covalent lattice and has a tetrahedral structure, and is very hard to break apart
