What are covalent-network solids?
Network Solids are atomic solids that contain strong directional covalent bonds to form a solid that might be best viewed as a giant molecule.
In diamond carbon atoms are bonded together by extended covalent bonds. What type of solid is diamond?
Diamond has an octahedral structure.
How do intermolecular forces compare to covalent and ionic bonds in terms of strength?
Ionic bonds create stronger intermolecular attraction than covalent bonds do; that is why rocks are harder than plastic.
When an organic solid is melted are covalent bonds broken?
no. melting is a physical change and does not involve breaking of covalent bonds
A solid with an extended system of repeating covalent bonds is called a or an?
network solid
In a diamond what type of bonds link carbon atoms together to form a network solid?
covalent bonds
How are atoms arranged in a network solid such as a diamond?
covalent bonds join all the atoms tightly together

Can a solid have covalent bonds?
no
In diamond carbon atoms are bonded together by extended covalent bonds. What type of solid is diamond?
Diamond has an octahedral structure.
What is required on order to melt a network solid?
Breaking covalent bonds throughout the solid would be required to melt a network solid.
How do intermolecular forces compare to covalent and ionic bonds in terms of strength?
Ionic bonds create stronger intermolecular attraction than covalent bonds do; that is why rocks are harder than plastic.
When an organic solid is melted are covalent bonds broken?
no. melting is a physical change and does not involve breaking of covalent bonds
What is strength of sand?
Sand (SiO2) is a network covalent solid. It's considered to be extremely strong with relatively high melting points (>1550'C). It is made by atoms making multiple bonds with other atoms in the "network". To compare, another example of a network covalent solid is diamonds.
What holds sugar molecules together?
quite simply, bonds. The strength of these bonds depends on the type of element or compound that forms the solid. These 'particles' you refer to are best known as 'atoms' and the atoms that form a solid are held together by these bonds.
Atoms in a solid?
they look like three spheres.a big one in the middle and two smaller ones on the ends
A solid with an extended system of repeating covalent bonds is called a or an?
network solid
