    • Answer: The correct answer is the matching diagram with a central carbon atom and four outer-shell electrons bonding with four hydrogen atoms.

    Question 6: Silicon(IV) Oxide Structure

    • Question: Describe the structure of silicon(IV) oxide (SiO2) and list three common properties between silicon(IV) oxide and diamond.
    • Answer: Silicon(IV) oxide has a giant/network covalent structure where silicon atoms form strong covalent bonds with four oxygen atoms, creating a continuous, three-dimensional network. Common properties shared with diamond include: -High melting point -Hardness -Insoluble in water

    Question 7: Compound Formulae
