What is the difference between molecular structures and giant structures?

Molecular structure - just a few atoms bonded together, weak intermolecular forces
Giant molecular structure - covalent bonds, each atom forms a few bonds so there are lots of atoms in each molecule, strong forces between atoms.

Is AlP an ionic or molecular compound?
AlP is a solid and it is not molecular. The difference in electronegativity is only 0.58. The bonding is It is best described as polar covalent . There are many compounds that are not molecular but are covalent giant molecules.
Does silicon oxide have a simple molecular or giant structure?
silicon (IV) oxide or silicon dioxide has giant covalent structure
Why does silicon can form giant structures?
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.
Can giant covalent structures conduct electricity when molten?
Some do- for example molten silicon conducts like ametal when molten.
Why does silicon has higher boiling point than phosphorus?
phosphorus has weak inter molecular forces(vander waals) between molecules,where as silicon has giant structure,so it has strong bonds .....takes more energy to break bonds,so higher bp and mp
What is giant molecular crystal?
A giant molecular crystal is a type of crystal in which the repeating unit is a large molecule or a complex network of molecules. These crystals have a high degree of structural order and can exhibit unique physical and chemical properties due to the arrangement of the molecules within the crystal lattice. Examples of giant molecular crystals include diamond, graphite, and fullerenes.

What is the difference between a baby giant squid and an adults giant squid?
there older
What is (covalent) compound?
COVALENT
What is the difference between a giant star and a super-giant star?
one is big one is small
What are giant molecular structures?
In science, the largest molecule known to man is the Bucky ball molecule. Each molecule is made of 60 carbon atoms and are about one nanometer in size.
How do you differentiate simple molecular compounds and giant molecular compounds?
simple molecular compounds have weak forces of atraction.
What is the difference between a giant star and a supergiants?
A supergiant simply is a large giant - so, it is larger (in diameter) than a "regular" giant star.
What is the difference between a red giant and a white dwarf?
size and color
Is mercury has giant structure?
Yes, metallic bonds only ever form giant structures. Mercury is an exception to the rule that giant structures have high melting points.
Difference between a titan and a giant?
A giant is a completely different race to titans, they were born to be the gods opposites and fight them for control.
What is the difference between a suspension bridge and a truss bridge?
giant cables and abutments
