The difference between simple molecules and giant structures
Simple Molecules
Every element with simple molecules have a different boiling temperature.
for example carbon dioxide (CO2) (idk how to use subscript here so yeah)
their atoms are held together by covalent bonds.
Properties
Low melting and boiling points.
Simple molecules do not conduct electricity.
Giant Structures
giant structures have a very big amount of atoms and they are arranged into giant lattices.
For example: diamond and graphite.
properties
they have a very high melting point.
variable electrical conductivity. for example diamond does not conduct electricity. However, graphite is electrons free so it does conduct electricity.
comparing and contrasting
giant structures have a big amount of atoms.
they have a very strong bond which leads to high melting/boiling point.
Simple molecules have a small amount of atoms.
Simple molecules has a weak bonds which leads to low melting/boiling.
