Question

Diamond is covalent, yet it has high melting point. why?

Answer 1

It is because diamond crystallize on what we call atomic crystal structure, which means that when it is in a solid state, there are atoms held together by strong covalent bonds. ... Diamond has a 3D network involving strong C-C bond which are very difficult to break and,in turns has high melting point.
