ionic. Silicon is not a gas. Covalent compounds are made from gasses only.


Does covalent compounds always form molecules?

No. Some compounds form covalent networks, in which each atom is colvalently bonded with at least 2 adjacent atoms. An example of a covalent network compound is silicon dioxide (SiO2), or silica. In SiO2 each silicon atom is bonded to four oxygen atoms and each oxygen atom is bonded to 2 silicon atoms.

Is SiI4 a covalent compound?

SiO2 is covalent because the difference in electronegativity is not great enough for it to be considered ionic. Ionic compounds have a difference in electronegativity of greater than 1.9 The Answer above is not right. SiO2 is Covalent. correct, but ionic compounds have an electronegativity difference of 1.7 or higher, not 1.9.
