covalent bonds join all the atoms tightly together
What else can I help you with?
What is an example of a network solid?
A crystalline solid held together by covalent bonds
Describe a network solid and give two examples?
Network solids are hard and brittle. They have high melting points. They DO NOT conduct electricity, unless they are liquified. They form crystals with geometric shapes that cleave along planes. Two examples are Diamond, or repeating blocs of C, and Sand, or SiO2.
In a diamond what type of bonds link carbon atoms together to form a network solid?
covalent bonds
What substance is an example of a network solid?
An example is the boron nitride. Another is silicon dioxide.
What is a type of solid in which all of the atoms are linked by covalent bonds?
A type of solid in which all of the atoms are linked by covalent bonds is called a covalent network solid. In these solids, each atom shares electrons with its neighboring atoms, forming a continuous network of covalent bonds throughout the structure. Examples include diamond and quartz.
Is a diamond an amorphous solid or a crystalline solid and why?
A diamond is a crystalline solid. It is made up of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure, which gives it its hardness and clarity. This organized arrangement of atoms is characteristic of crystalline solids.
What is a solid substance found in nature that is inorganic?
Diamond is a solid substance found in nature that is inorganic. It is comprised of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure.
Which allotrope of carbon has a 3 dimensional solid structure?
Diamond is the allotrope of carbon that has a 3-dimensional solid structure. It consists of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure, making it extremely hard and strong.
What structural units make up networks solids?
Nonmetal atom
Diamond and graphite are both forms of carbon.Diamond is hard Graphite is soft and flaky How could these different properties be explained?
Diamond and graphite have different structures which account for their different properties. Graphite is arranged into sheets which are easily removed. Diamond, on the other hand, is a network solid that has very strong bonds and intermolecular forces holding it together.
Diamond is matter or non matter?
Yes.Matter is anything that takes up space.So a diamond is matter. Diamond is a solid.
In how many different ways can 5 quanta be arranged among 4 atoms in a solid?
The number of ways 5 quanta can be arranged among 4 atoms in a solid is 126.
