Answer:

silicon carbide (SiC), a network solid

Explanation:

SiC has a giant network of covalent structure which takes a lot of energy to break than just a single covalent bond. In the network there are many Si and C atoms. All the atoms in the network are linked to each other by strong covalent bonds. SiC forms a lattice structure, in which both the Si and C atoms are sp³ hybridized. In the SiC crystal lattice the smallest unit is a tetrahedron of a central Si atom surrounded by four C atoms or a central C atom surrounded by four Si atoms.

Yes, when molten candle wax solidifies it is a chemical reaction

<u>Explanation:</u>

Basically Wax is crystalline so once the candle light melts it freezes taking back the solid state to the room temperature.

When the room temperature is below the freezing point, the liquid candle wax, turns into solid state again, therefore this process is called solidification. The process of freezing or solidification is a process when an object turns liquid and freezes back to solid state.

Indeed, Yes, when molten candle wax solidifies it is a chemical reaction
