The giant structure involve an enormous number of atoms.
A giant molecular crystal is a type of crystal structure where the repeating unit is a large molecule or a network of bonded atoms. These crystals often have high melting points and are characterized by strong intermolecular forces between the molecules or atoms within the structure. Examples include diamond, graphite, and quartz.
it is a simple structure
Diamond is no longer the hardest known substance. Several new compounds have beaten it. -------------------------------------- Because only another diamond can scratch another diamond. Also they use diamond made drills. My daddy told me that. But it is the hardest. My friend Joshua told me that about the only thing that scratch it. I thought the pavement was the hardest.

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.
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.
Yes, diamond is a giant covalent structure because each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement, forming a continuous three-dimensional network. This gives diamond its extreme hardness and high melting point.
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.
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.
No its carbon really compressed there are no ionic bonds, just covalent.
Iodine is a diatomic molecule consisting of two iodine atoms (I-I), while diamond is a giant covalent structure made up of carbon atoms bonded in a tetrahedral lattice structure. Iodine molecules are held together by weak van der Waals forces, while diamond's carbon atoms are strongly bonded through covalent bonds in a three-dimensional network.
Yes. Diamond is isometric, graphite is hexagonal.

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".
