The most stable form of carbon is graphite.

Graphite consists of sheets of carbon atoms covalently bonded together.

These sheets are then stacked to form graphite.

Graphite may also be regarded as a network solid, even though there is no bonding in the z direction.

Each layer, however, is an ‘endless’ bonded network of carbon atoms.

 

 

In covalent network solids the solid is held together with a rigid grid of two or three dimensional covalent bonds.

Common examples are diamonds and graphite, both of which are allotropes of carbon.

 

 

Examples of network covalent solids include diamond and graphite, and the chemical compounds silicon carbide and boron carbide.

 

 

Graphite is an example of a planar network solid.

 

 

Carbon exists as a covalent network solid in both the graphite and diamond forms.
