silicon (IV) oxide or silicon dioxide has giant covalent structure
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.
Sand has a giant molecular structure. It is mainly made of a mineral called quartz, which is silicon oxide (SiO2).
