Giant covalent, lattice structures contain a lot of non-metal atoms, each joined to adjacent atoms by covalent bonds. The atoms are usually arranged into giant regular lattices.
The structure requires an element with very strong bonds between the atoms to create various materials. A couple of examples are (carbon) Diamond and Buckminster Fullerine. Graphite is also one but has weak bonds as well.
Silica and molybdenum can also make covalent lattice structures.

What is a lattice is giant covalent bonding?
In giant molecules such as diamond, silon dioxide, the atoms are all regularly positioned and form a lattice. In this respect they are similar to ionic compounds.
Is quartz an ionic compound?
No, Quartz is a covalent network substance (Covalent Lattice)
what type of bonds form lattice structures?
Ionic bonded always. Also giant covalent structures- like diamond and silicon dioxide. It is NOT just ionic compounds!
How many covalent bonds are in a diamond lattice?
4
Can carbon form covalent bonds with other carbon atoms?
Indeed they can. A common example of Carbon covalently bonding with carbon is in what we refer to as Giant Covalent Structures, which are multiple of an atom bonded together in a set, lattice-like shape. Examples of giant covalent structures made from carbon are diamond where the atoms are arranged in a pyramid shape, and graphite, where they are arranged in flat layers.
What is the covalent bond between sillicon and oxygen?
giant covalent lattice

Is silicon hard?
yes, it is bonded in a giant covalent lattice and has a tetrahedral structure, and is very hard to break apart

Do covalent compounds form crystal lattice?
They can form a network covalent bonding as in boron nitride.
What is the boiling point of giant covalent?
The boiling point of Giant covalent is: 2230ºc
What is an example of a network solid?
A crystalline solid held together by covalent bonds
Is covalent bond the strongest bond?
yes and no. Simple discrete molecules have simple covalent bond and its melting point is very low because little energy is needed to overcome its simple covalent bonds. But it can be very strong when there are plenty of bonds like in diamond- which has a giant covalent lattice. (there are alot of these covalent bonds holding it together) so alot of energy is needed to break the bonds.
Ozone have ionic or covalent bond?
Giant covalent
