yes a diamond is classified as a covalent crystal
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.
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."
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.
Giant covalent molecule. It is an acidic oxide
Four. they are arranged tetrahedrally. The structure is similar to diamond.
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.
No, wax contains very large molecules.
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".
The giant structure involve an enormous number of atoms.
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.
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.
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.
No its carbon really compressed there are no ionic bonds, just covalent.
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.
Damond is covalently bonded, a giant molecule
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.
A possible compound would be silicon dioxide with giant covalent structure and strong covalent bonds.
