Chemistry — Giant vs Simple Structures

Two kinds of covalent structure.

Template previewVenn / Euler
Giant vs simple molecular structuresGiant covalent (G)Simple molecular (S)Many atoms in a lattice; very high melting point; e.g. diamond, graphite, silicaSmall discrete molecules; low melting point; weak forces between molecules; e.g. CO2, I2Held by covalent bonds; made of non-metals; mostly do not conduct

set G "Giant covalent"
set S "Simple molecular"
only "G" "Many atoms in a lattice; very high melting point; e.g. diamond, graphite, silica"
only "S" "Small discrete molecules; low melting point; weak forces between molecules; e.g. CO2, I2"
intersect "G,S" "Held by covalent bonds; made of non-metals; mostly do not conduct"
