Is propane a giant or simple structure?
it is a simple structure
Is calcium chloride a giant or simple structure?
Calcium Chloride is a giant structure
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
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.
Is silicon hard?
yes, it is bonded in a giant covalent lattice and has a tetrahedral structure, and is very hard to break apart
Is sand giant or a simple structure?
Sand has a giant molecular structure. It is mainly made of a mineral called quartz, which is silicon oxide (SiO2).
Is silicon dioxide a giant or simple structure?
giant
Do substances that usually contain covalent bonds have a giant or simple molecular 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.
What is a giant metalic structure?
Carbon and Silicon.
How do you differentiate simple molecular compounds and giant molecular compounds?
simple molecular compounds have weak forces of atraction.
Is propane a giant or simple structure?
it is a simple structure
Is propane giant or simple structure?
it is a simple structure
Is formula C60 a simple molecular substance or a giant covalent structure?
That's a very good question and there are arguments for both. I would class it more as a simple molecular substance because a sample will contain many separate molecules, with forces other than covalent bonds between them. A giant covalent structure like diamond is wholly held together by covalent bonds.
Is carbon tetrachloride giant or simple structure?
it is a simple structure
Is calcium chloride a giant or simple structure?
Calcium Chloride is a giant structure
Is magnesium bromide a giant or simple structure?
Magnesium Bromide has a giant structure
