Question 1 Report

Which of the following solids has a network structure?
Answer Details
Diamond has a network structure. In a network structure, all the atoms in the solid are covalently bonded to each other forming a giant molecule. In diamond, each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms forming a tetrahedral structure, creating a three-dimensional network of carbon atoms bonded together. This network structure is responsible for diamond's unique physical and chemical properties such as high hardness and thermal conductivity.
