Giant Covalent Lattice - A three-dimensional structure of atoms , bonded together by covalent bonds
Boron, Carbon and Silicon form Giant Covalent Lattices
Properties
- Giant Covalent Lattices don't conduct elecrity, as there are no free moving charged particles
- Giant Covalent Lattices are insoluble, as the covalent bonds are too strong
- Giant Covalent Lattices have very high melting and boiling points as a large amount of energy is needed to break the strong covalent bonds
