What type of solid is the silica?
- A Ionic
- B Covalent
- C Molecular
- D Metallic
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Covalent
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Silica \(\left(\mathrm{SiO}_2\right)\) is a covalent solid, where atoms are held together by strong covalent bonds in a continuous network, forming a three-dimensional structure. This gives silica its hardness and high melting point.
