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.

A wooden block has a length of 4.0 cm, a width of 2.0 cm, and a height of 1.0 cm. What is the volume of this block?
aleksklad [387]
Use the formula for volume. V = lwh. Plug in the numbers for length, width, and height. Now we have V = 4.0 x 2.0 x 1.0, which is 8.0. So the volume of the block is 8.0 cm.
