Answer #1

A Covalent Network Solid is a chemical compound in which the atom are bonded by covalent bonds in a continuous network extending throughout the material .In a network solid there is no individual molecule and the entire crystal or amorphous solid may be considered asmacromolecules.

THERE ARE TOTAL THREE NETWORK SOLID IN THE ABOVE QUESTION:--

SiO2, C (DIAMOND), SiC.

Diamond is network solid with a continuous network of carbon atom and silicon dioxide with a continuous 3 dimensional netwok of silicon units. SiC is a covalent solid since the atom of silicon are connected with carbon through network.

Ag is metal so it would exists as a metallic solid.

RbI contains a metal from Group -1 and a non metal from Group- 17 so it is an ionic solid containing Rb+ and I-

Al2O3 is normally white ,powdery solid.It does not exit in particular form.

Molecular solid is Sucrose.(C12H22011)

H2O is also a Molecular Solid.

IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT REGARDING THIS PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND IF YOU UNDERSTAND THE SOLUTION PLEASE GIVE ME THUMBS UP.THANKS!!!
