Hello Chemistry enthusiast! Today, we are going to dive into the world of covalent network structures and stability - but don't worry, we'll keep it simple, fun, and relatable.

Covalent bonds & structures

Let's first remind ourselves what covalent bonds are. When two atoms share electrons in order to achieve a full outer shell, they form a covalent bond. Like two buddies sharing their snacks, right? Now, these bonds lead to two different types of structure: molecular and covalent network.

 

Molecular structures are like tiny families of atoms. These atoms are all linked up by covalent bonds to form molecules, little discrete groups of atoms living together. An example would be a water molecule (H2O) where one oxygen atom is covalently bonded to two hydrogen atoms.

 

On the other hand, covalent network structures are like an endless city of atoms, where every atom is covalently bonded to its neighbors, forming a continuous three-dimensional network or lattice. Imagine it like a never-ending Minecraft world made up of blocks (atoms) that are all interconnected! Examples of these include silicon, silicon dioxide, and most of the allotropes of carbon, such as diamond and graphite.
