Which of these statements correctly describe a diamond?

It is valuable, enduring, fiery, and expensive. Beautiful, durable, hard, sparkling.


Are covalent bond flexible?

Single covalent bonds are usually flexible, but when the bonds form an extended three-dimensional structure they can become very inflexible, as in diamond.


What determines the three-dimensional shape of an enzyme?

Weak hydrogen bond that form between some amino acids help to determine the three-dimensional shape.


A strong covalent bond between amino acids that functions in maintaining a polypeptide's specific three dimensional shape?

It is a disulfide bond.


Why diamond has a higher melting point than silicon carbide?

The bond energy of Si -C is generally considered to be lower than that of the C-C, so a simple explanation is that diamond has a stronger bond. Both diamond and silicon carbide have a three dimensional network structure. Diamond consists of tetrahedral bonded carbon atoms whereas silicon carbide has many polymorphs (crystal structure which are temperature dependant). As you heat silicon carbide up the crystal structure changes. Silicon carbide does not melt "congruently" to give a liquid of the same composition, it decomposes at around 2700 0C .

Type of covalent bonding that is found in the diamond?

The type of covalent bond in a diamond is a 'giant covalent' bond in a crystalline structure. Actually, I think it's called a covalent network solid. I don't think chemists and physicists would like to use a layman's term like "giant".


What is a network bond?

So a network covalent bond or macromolecular bond is basically a bunch of covalently bonded atoms. Imagine a diamond structure or crystal structure that keeps expanding but a model only shows a building block of the substance. So like a brick wall to a brick.


What is a network covalent bond?

A covalent lattice is a type of bond that occurs between non-metal atoms. The atoms bond to an certain number of atoms which bond to more atoms etc. Examples include graphite, diamond and silica.
