simple molecules are bonds between non-metals and elements, or in some cases, non-metals and non-metals. Things like Water, CO2, I2 are simple moleculars. The single molecules of simple moleculars are held together through covalent bonds, the intermolecular forces that hold together many bonds are weaker, thus simple moleculars have low melting/boiling points.
Giant Metallics are bonds between metals, such as Zinc Magnesium, and have strong bonds among and between atoms, with high melting/boiling points and ability to conduct electricity.
The main element found in the atmosphere of a gas giant planet like Jupiter or Saturn is hydrogen. This element makes up the majority of their composition, along with other gases like helium, methane, and ammonia.
A giant structure. MgBr2 is ionic and forms an ionic lattice.
Sodium Chloride Magnesium Oxide
No, salt is not a giant structure. It is a compound made up of sodium and chloride ions that form a crystalline structure. When many salt crystals come together, they can create structures like salt flats, but salt itself is not a single giant structure.
Mercury, because it is a liquid at room temperature.
No, giant covalent structures do not contain charged ions. They are formed by a network of covalent bonds between atoms, where electrons are shared between them rather than transferred to form charged ions. Examples of giant covalent structures include diamond and graphite.

Ionic compounds can form giant structures, such as ionic lattices, due to the attraction between positively and negatively charged ions. Similarly, covalent compounds, like diamond or silicon dioxide, can form giant structures through the sharing of electrons between atoms. Metal compounds can also form giant structures, known as metallic lattices, due to the delocalization of electrons among metal atoms.
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.

Yes, metallic bonds only ever form giant structures. Mercury is an exception to the rule that giant structures have high melting points.
Giant's Causeway, an anomolous collection of natural hexagonal 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.
Yes, giant covalent structures can conduct electricity when molten because the atoms are free to move and carry charge. This allows for the formation of a continuous pathway for the flow of electricity. Examples of giant covalent structures that can conduct electricity when molten include graphite and silicon.
