Of a network of atoms.
The chemical formula of silicon dioxide is SiO2; SiO2 has many forms of crystalline structure.

Sand is silicon dioxide. Note that as sand is generally coloured the silicon dioxide contains traces of metal oxides, typically iron.
No, silicon dioxide is a molecule.
Silicon dioxide is a compound.
The chemical formula of silicon dioxide is SiO2; SiO2 has many forms of crystalline structure.
Diamond consists of only one element (carbon). Whereas Silicon dioxide consists of two different elements (silicon and oxygen) that are chemically bonded in a fixed ratio. Hence Diamond is an element and Silicon dioxide is an compound.
silicon (IV) oxide or silicon dioxide has giant covalent structure

Flint consists primarily of quartz, silicon dioxide.
No, silicon dioxide forms a network covalent structure, and so doesn't dissolve in anything:
Silicon is found naturally in the earth's crust and in minerals like silicon dioxide or silica. The earth's crust consists of approximately 27.7 percent silicon.
No. It is neither organic nor a molecule. Silicon dioxide consists only of silicon and oxygen. By definition, an organic compound must contain carbon. Second, silicon dioxide forms a covalent network rather than molecules.
Quartz, which consists of silicon dioxide.
Sand is silicon dioxide. Note that as sand is generally coloured the silicon dioxide contains traces of metal oxides, typically iron.
Sand consists mostly Silicon dioxide with some other things. Its formula is SiO2
No, silicon dioxide is a molecule.
