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.
Which oxide has a macromolecular structure?
Silicon dioxide (SiO2), also known as silica, has a macromolecular structure. This oxide forms a network of covalent bonds between silicon and oxygen atoms, creating a three-dimensional structure known as a "giant covalent structure."
Does silicon oxide have a simple molecular or giant structure?
Silicon oxide has a giant molecular structure, with each silicon atom bonded to four oxygen atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement. This structure forms a network of interconnected silicon and oxygen atoms, giving silicon oxide its solid and rigid properties.
What type of oxide is silicon dioxide?
Giant covalent molecule. It is an acidic oxide
In a silicon crystal. How many covalent bond does the single atom form?
Four. they are arranged tetrahedrally. The structure is similar to diamond.
Is wax a giant covalent structure?
No, wax is not a giant covalent structure. Wax is composed of long-chain hydrocarbons and does not have a complex molecular structure like giant covalent substances such as diamond or graphite.
Is wax a giant covalent?
No, wax contains very large molecules.
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 is the differece between a substance with a giant covalent structure and a simple covalent structure?
The giant structure involve an enormous number of atoms.
Which element has a giant ionic and covalent structure?
Well, you've mystified me. I have a PhD in chemistry, and this is the first I've ever heard of a "giant ionic and covalent structure". Could you try being a little more specific? I can think of materials that might qualify ... zeolites, for example, which are partly ionic and partly covalent and might form extensive networks ... but these are compounds, not elements.
Does argon have a giant covalent structure?
No, argon does not have a giant covalent structure. Argon is a noble gas that exists as individual atoms rather than forming covalent bonds with other atoms to create a giant structure.
Is water a giant covalent structure?
No, water is not a giant covalent structure. Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds, which are much weaker than the covalent bonds typically found in giant covalent structures like diamond or graphite.
Is a diamond a ionic compound?
No its carbon really compressed there are no ionic bonds, just covalent.
Do substances that usually contain covalent bonds have a giant or simple molecular structure?
Substances that usually contain covalent bonds have a simple molecular structure. Examples include elements like oxygen and compounds like methane. Giant molecular structures are typically found in substances with strong covalent bonds, such as diamond and quartz.
Is a diamond a covalent bond?
Damond is covalently bonded, a giant molecule
Why are giant covalent structures non conductors of electricity?
Giant covalent structures, such as diamond and silicon dioxide, have a strong network of covalent bonds that hold their atoms together in a rigid structure. These bonds do not allow for the movement of electrons, which is necessary for conducting electricity. Therefore, giant covalent structures are non-conductors of electricity.
Which compound has a high melting point covalent and non metals?
A possible compound would be silicon dioxide with giant covalent structure and strong covalent bonds.
