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!! (And yes...
