Is sand macromolecule or network solid? Thank you

A macromolecule is a molecule with lots and lots of atoms. (i.e. protein, nucleic acid...)
A network solid is <span>is a chemical compound where the atoms are "bonded by covalent bonds in a continuous </span>network<span> extending throughout the material."
A single grain of sand consists of, on average, </span><span>~50,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms.
That's A LOT.
However, these atoms do bond in network covalent bonds.
But that means it's a covalent network solid.
The short answer is that sand is both a </span><span>macromolecular substance as well as a covalent network solid, so I would go with it's macromolecular but you can interpret that the way you want.</span>

oksano4ka [1.4K]

The deeper the diver takes the helium balloon, the more it reduces in size. This is due to the pressure of the water column above pressing on the balloon. According to Boyle’s law (P= k*1/V.), as the volume of the balloon decreases, the pressure of the helium inside increases.

a compound is decomposed In the laboratory and produces 1.40 g N and 0.20g H what is the empirical formula
Bumek [7]

First, find the number of moles for each element. The molar mass for nitrogen is 14 g/mol and that of hydrogen is 1 g/mol.

1.40 g N / 14 g/mol = 0.1 mol N

0.20 g H / 1 g/mol = 0.2 mol H

Find the mole ratio. Divide both numbers with the much lower value. In this case, it is 0.1 mol N.

For N: 0.1 ÷ 0.1 = 1

For H: 0.2÷0.1 = 2

Thus, the empirical formula is NH_{2}.
