Interpretation:
General characteristics of covalent network solids need to be described.
Concept introduction:
Covalent
Answer to Problem 73SSC
Covalent network solids are non conductor of heat and electricity, very hard and typically brittle.
Explanation of Solution
Characteristics of covalent network solid are they are extremely hard, non conductor of electricity and heat, very high melting point and are typically brittle. An example of covalent network solid is diamond, in structure of diamond each carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon atoms.
Covalent network solids are interconnected by a network of covalent bond. Examples are diamond and quartz.
