These are giant molecular lattice structures. This implies that strong covalent bonding holds their atoms together in a highly regular extended network. The bonding between the atoms goes on and on in three dimensions. Melting requires the separation of the species comprising the soild state, and boiling the separation of the species comprising the liquid state. Because of the large amount of energy needed to break huge numbers of covalent bonds, all giant covalent network structures have high melting points and boiling points and are insoluble in water. Diamond, graphite (allotropes of carbon) and quartz (silicon(IV) oxide, SiO2) are examples.

Type of covalent bonding that is found in the diamond?

A type of chemical bond that involves the sharing of electrons?

A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond that involves the sharing of electrons between two atoms. In this bond, the electrons are shared in order to achieve a stable electron configuration for both atoms involved. This type of bond is typically found in molecules and organic compounds.
