Network solids are hard and brittle. They have high melting points. They DO NOT conduct electricity, unless they are liquified. They form crystals with geometric shapes that cleave along planes. Two examples are Diamond, or repeating blocs of C, and Sand, or SiO2.

A network solid is a material composed of atoms or molecules connected in a continuous network structure, creating a solid with high melting points and hardness. Examples include diamond, made of carbon atoms bonded in a tetrahedral network, and quartz, composed of silicon and oxygen atoms arranged in a three-dimensional network structure.
