A network solid(crystal) or covalent network solid is a chemical compound in which the atoms are bonded by covalent bond s in a continuous network. In a network crystal there are no individual molecule s and the entire crystal may be considered a macromolecule.
What else can I help you with?
What is a solid that consists of crystals?
Network solids, or network atomic solids, are large crystals with covalent bonds holding the atoms together. Gemstones including diamonds and rubies are network solids. Crystalline solids have a constituent arranged in ordered patterns and include amethyst quartz.
Why are salt crystals always cubic?
The ionic bonds will form a lattice network
What exists as covalent crystals in the solid state?
Diamond and silicon are examples of covalent crystals in the solid state. In covalent crystals, atoms are held together by strong covalent bonds, resulting in a network structure with high melting points and hardness.
Can crystals ever be made out of covalent bonds or is it strictlly only ionic?
Crystals can be made from covalent bonds as well as ionic bonds. Covalent crystals are formed when atoms share electrons, creating a network of interconnected atoms with strong directional bonds. Diamond and quartz are examples of covalent crystals, while sodium chloride (salt) is an example of an ionic crystal.
What are some properties of covalent crystals?
Covalent crystals have strong covalent bonds between atoms, resulting in a hard and brittle structure. They have high melting and boiling points due to the strong bonds that hold the structure together. Covalent crystals are typically insulators and have low conductivity of heat and electricity.
What are Ghost crystals?
Ghost Crystals are crystals of crosslinked polyacrylamide.
Are crystals living or nonliving?
NO CRYSTALS are not living!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is an igneous rock with crystals?
Granite with larger crystals, basalt with smaller crystals.
What do you do on a science fair about crystals?
you should talk about how crystals are formed and what type of crystals there are
Can salts form crystals?
Yes. Salts can form crystals (salt crystals).
What has the author G W Gray written?
G. W. Gray has written: ''The great ravelled knot'' 'Liquid Crystals' 'Smectic liquid crystals' -- subject(s): Liquid crystals 'Liquid crystals & plastic crystals' -- subject(s): Liquid crystals, Plastic crystals
What is giant molecular crystal?
Giant molecular crystals are those in which a large number of atoms are covalently bonded to each other creating a network. There are four examples of molecules forming giant structures. They are silicon and two forms of carbon called diamond and graphite.
