This is covalent network type of solid.

For example, silicon dioxide (SiO₂) is covalent network solid with covalent bonding.

Covalent network solid is a chemical compound (or element) in which the atoms are bonded by covalent bonds in a continuous network extending throughout the material.

Silicon(IV) oxide has continuous three-dimensional network of SiO₂ units and diamond has sp3 hybridization.

This solids do not have free electrons so they are good insulators.

They have strong covalent bonds, so they melt at extremely high temperature.

Other examples are quartz, diamond, and silicon carbide.

Write a balanced overall reaction from these unbalanced half-reactions sn and ag
loris [4]
Balance each one by adding electrons to make the charges on both sides the same:

Sn--> Sn2+ + 2 e-
Ag+ + 1 e- --> Ag

Now, you have to have the same number of electrons in the two half-reactions, so multiply the second one by 2 to get:

2 Ag+ + 2 e- --> 2 Ag

Now, just add the two half reactions together, cancelling anything that's the same on both sides:

2 Ag+ + Sn --> Sn2+ + 2 Ag

And you're done.

No it is not likely. That is a ratio of 10:4 N^14 and N^15 which doesn’t work. It needs a higher amount
