In the field of material science frequently polymeric substances with an high cross link degree are called networks. This is due to the fact that polymer molecules resemble chains of many replicas basic polymer component (the monomer).
Cross links generates bonds either between different points of the same chain or between different chains so structuring the material microscopic arrangement like a sort of network.
The most famous process of this kind is rubber vulcanization. This creates many cross links based on a bridge made by three sulphur atoms and transforms completely the properties of natural rubber generating a sturdy, elastic and durable material.
No, Quartz is a covalent network substance (Covalent Lattice)
An example is the boron nitride. Another is silicon dioxide.
A solute can dissolve in another substance. The substance that does the dissolving is called the solvent.
If a substance has a PH of 11 then the substance is basic.
If a substance can be dissolved in water, that substance said to be water soluble.
Diamond.

So a network covalent bond or macromolecular bond is basically a bunch of covalently bonded atoms. Imagine a diamond structure or crystal structure that keeps expanding but a model only shows a building block of the substance. So like a brick wall to a brick.
Diamond. Diamond is composed strictly of carbon, covalently bonded to one another creating a covalent network, making it the hardest substance in the world. Also, graphite of your pencil is composed strictly of carbon, except that the structure is different than diamond.
