What is Giant vs Simple Molecular Crystals about?
This document discusses different types of crystals. Giant molecular crystals like diamond, graphite, and silica are composed of strong covalent bonds that give them high hardness and melting points. Diamond has tetrahedral carbon atoms in a rigid 3D structure, while graphite has layered hexagonal structures that can slide past each other. Silica has a structure similar to diamond. The document also mentions molecular crystals which have weaker intermolecular forces, lower melting points, and allow molecula
