sorry just need to get ur attention.
will anyone be nice enough to describe the bonding in network solids?
also what are the significant physical properties of network solids?

Basically almost every single question on here gets answered. Those attention-getting tricks just irritate the people who are likely to answer your question.

There exists a class of solids called network solids in which the bonding is essentially due to a network of covalent bonds that extends throughout the solid. Such solids are hard and rigid and have high melting points because the crystal is like one enormous molecule. The most well-known example of a network solid is diamond, which consists of tetrahedrally bonded.
