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?
The type of covalent bond in a diamond is a 'giant covalent' bond in a crystalline structure. Actually, I think it's called a covalent network solid. I don't think chemists and physicists would like to use a layman's term like "giant".
What type of covalent bond is found in alcohol?
Polar Covalent
What type of bond does diamond graphite and buckminsterfullerene have - Single Double or Triple?
Diamond and Graphite both have single covalent bonds whereas Buckminsterfullerene has double covalent bonds.
What type of bonds holds atoms together in a water molecule?
Covalent Bond .
A bond in which atoms share electrons is called a?
The type of bond in which two atoms share electrons is called a covalent bond.

What type of molecules are found in the human body and what type of bond is it?
Covalent bonds.
What type of bond does diamond graphite and buckminsterfullerene have - Single Double or Triple?
Diamond and Graphite both have single covalent bonds whereas Buckminsterfullerene has double covalent bonds.
What is the sharing of electrons occurs in what type of bond?
Electrons are shared in a type of bond known as covalent. This type of bond is also considered a chemical bond.
A type of chemical bond that involves the sharing of electrons?
A chemical bond that involves the sharing of electrons is a covalent bond. A nonpolar covalent bond is the type of bond that involves the most sharing.
What type of bonds holds atoms together in a water molecule?
Covalent Bond .
