Does silicon oxide have a simple molecular or giant structure?
silicon (IV) oxide or silicon dioxide has giant covalent structure
Why silicon oxide is a solid and carbon dioxide is a gas?
They have different structures, which causes different properties. For example, carbon exists in 2 forms, Graphite (reffered to as pencil leads, there is actually no lead in a pencil) and diamond. The differences are huge! one is shiny, another dull. One is very hard, another quite soft. One doesn't conduct electricity (diamond) whilst the other does so as good as metals. Carbon dioxide has a covalant structure, meaning that there is electron sharing in the bonding. Silicon Oxide has a macromolecular structure, which is completely different, which is a similar structure to diamonds, which makes it a hard solid. I hope this answers your question.
What is peroskvite?
Peroskvite refers to a structure, which is similar to that of calcium titanium oxide or CaTiO3. Any material that has the same kind of structure as CaTiO3 is called peroskvite.
Which property of calcium oxide does the lattice structure explain?
according to my calculations it explains the high melting point
What is the name of the compound formula K2O?
Potassium oxide is a ionic lattice which is made out of potassium ions and oxide ions. Therefore, separate 'molecules of this compound do not exist. The empirical formula itself is K2O which is used also as the chemical formula for the compound.
What element has a macromolecular structure similar to carbon?
Carbon nanotubes
What is the formula copper(II) oxide?
Cuprous oxide or Cu(I)-oxide is Cu2O (Cu-O-Cu structure) Cupric oxide or Cu(II)-oxide is CuO (Cu=O structure)
When was Macromolecular Bioscience created?
Macromolecular Bioscience was created in 2001.
Does silicon oxide have a simple molecular or giant structure?
silicon (IV) oxide or silicon dioxide has giant covalent structure
When was Macromolecular Reaction Engineering created?
Macromolecular Reaction Engineering was created in 2007.
When was Macromolecular Rapid Communications created?
Macromolecular Rapid Communications was created in 1979.
What has the author Nola L Fuller written?
Nola L. Fuller has written: 'The role of water in determining structure and function of macromolecules and macromolecular assemblies'
Is ferric oxide organic or inorganic?
Because lead oxide (ferric oxide) contains no carbon in it's structure, it is considered an inorganic molecule.
What is the structure for iron oxide?
carbon,hydrogen,and oxgen
Lewis structure of K2O?
Potassium oxide (K2O) is an ionic compound, not a molecule, and does not have a Lewis structure.

What is the structure of carbon sub-oxide?
Formula is C3O2, structure is:O=C=C=C=O
