Network solids are organized in a crystalline structure at the molecular level, causing brittleness (inflexability). Ductily is usually associated with metallic bonding where electrons are freely shared among particles.
Pure sulfur (S) does not form network solids. You may be thinking of silicon (Si) which does.

Network solids have a three-dimensional structure with strong covalent bonds throughout, leading to a higher melting point compared to molecular solids which have weaker intermolecular forces. In network solids, a larger amount of energy is required to break the extensive network of covalent bonds, resulting in a higher melting point.
Network solids.
Network solids, or network atomic solids, are large crystals with covalent bonds holding the atoms together. Gemstones including diamonds and rubies are network solids. Crystalline solids have a constituent arranged in ordered patterns and include amethyst quartz.
Both Na and K are very 'soft' or ductile (easy malleable) metals.
Covalent-network solids are substances in which atoms are bonded together by strong covalent bonds in an extended network structure. This results in materials with high melting points, hardness, and electrical insulating properties. Examples include diamond and silicon carbide.
In network solids, attractive forces like covalent bonds, ionic bonds, and metallic bonds stabilize the structure. These strong bonds between atoms or ions help maintain the rigid and three-dimensional network structure of network solids.
Most metals are solids at room temps. They have a luster (shine) and are good conductors of heat and electricity. They are mallable and ductile.
Lanthanides exist as solids at room temperature and pressure. They have metallic properties and are typically soft, malleable, and ductile.
Network solids are composed of an extended three-dimensional network of atoms bonded together by covalent bonds. Examples include diamond and quartz. The structural units in network solids are individual atoms or small groups of atoms connected to each other in a repeating pattern throughout the solid.
