Chemistry — Giant vs Simple Structures
Two kinds of covalent structure.
Make it your own.
title "Giant vs simple molecular structures"
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"
