Question

In a diamond ,what type of bond link carbon atoms together to form a network solid.

Answer 1

Covalent bond is the answer.

Answer 2

covalent bond

Step-by-step explanation:

Each C has 4 valance electrons and each C atom joins to four other C atoms to form a tetrahedral lattice. Each C atom has four sp³ hybrid orbital which are directed to the four corners of a tetrahedron. The tetrahedron unit cell gets repeated throughout the lattice thus forming a three dimensional network.
