In this video Paul Andersen explains how covalent network solids form elementally (like graphite) or by combining multiple nonmetals (like quartz). Covalent network solids contain elements from the carbon group because they have four...

This lesson will present the rules for writing the names and chemical formulae of elements and their allotropes.

Definitions included: chemical structure, ionic lattice, metallic lattice, molecule, covalent network, solitary atom,...
