The molecular structure of the solids has lower ability to conduct electricity due to tight holding by nucleus.
<h3>Why molecular solids are poor conductors?</h3>
Molecular solids are also poor conductors of electricity because their valence electrons are tightly held by the nuclear charges present in the nucleus while on the other hand, Metals are good electrical conductors in the solid form due to the presence of free electrons that helps in the conduction of electricity.

Increase in temperature makes the atoms speed up, and decrease in temperature makes the atoms move slower.
When two atoms of the same element are covalently bonded, the radius of each atom will be half the distance between the two nuclei because they equally attract the electrons. The reason for this trend is that the bigger the radii, the further the distance between the two nuclei. Hope this helps:)
Answer:
Covalent network solids are formed by networks or chains of atoms or molecules held together by covalent bonds. Consists of sp3 hybridized carbon atoms, each bonded to four other carbon atoms in a tetrahedral array to create a giant network. Examples of network covalent solids include diamond and graphite (both allotropes of carbon), and the chemical compounds silicon carbide and boron-carbide.
