Covalent or network solids are held together by a lattice of atoms or molecules covalently bonded to each other. Examples include diamond, graphite, and silicon dioxide SiO_2. Covalent or network solids tend to have very high melting and boiling points, and are often extremely hard and brittle. They are typically poor conductors of heat and electricity, although graphite is an exception due to its unique layered structure.
