Solder is a metallic alloy
No, wax contains very large molecules.
No, wax contains very large molecules.
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".
No. Quartz is insoluble in water and contains no sodium ions. It is a giant covalent structure of silicon and oxygen.
No, wax contains very large molecules.
The giant structure involve an enormous number of atoms.
silicon (IV) oxide or silicon dioxide has giant covalent structure
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.

yes, it is bonded in a giant covalent lattice and has a tetrahedral structure, and is very hard to break apart

Well, you've mystified me. I have a PhD in chemistry, and this is the first I've ever heard of a "giant ionic and covalent structure". Could you try being a little more specific? I can think of materials that might qualify ... zeolites, for example, which are partly ionic and partly covalent and might form extensive networks ... but these are compounds, not elements.
The boiling point of Giant covalent is: 2230ºc
