Hum.... I thought there were two different types of co-valent bonds - molecular (like CO2 and Graphite) and lattices. (like SiO2 and Diamond)
So my question is.... is there a way to differentiate between them by using their chemical formula?
Hey all!
Just need some help on clarifying this -
Is there a way to tell if a compund is a co-valent lattice by just looking at it's chemical formula? e.g. Si02, TiO2, etcetc.
In other words is there anything in a chemical formula which defines it as a co-valent lattice?
Thanks!!
