Answer:
Here's what I get
Explanation:
Both diamond and SiO₂ are network solids. Their atoms are all joined together so a crystal of either diamond or SO₂is one giant molecule.
Structure
In diamond, each C atom is covalently attached to four other C atoms.
The structure of SiO₂ is like that of diamond. The difference is that there is an O atom between each atom of Si.
Properties
Both substances are
- High-melting
- Hard
- Insoluble in both polar and nonpolar solvents
- Poor conductors of electricity
