Best Answer

Silicon dioxide is not a white solid- large pure crystals are colorless and transarent- powdered silcon dioxide is white- this is due to the presence of the small particles. titanium dioxide has a high refractive index so appears white.

What elements are covalent network solids?

Covalent network solids are typically composed of nonmetal elements bonded together with strong covalent bonds in a continuous three-dimensional network structure. Examples include diamond (carbon), silicon dioxide (silica), and silicon carbide. These solids have high melting points, are non-conductive, and are very hard due to their strong covalent bonds.
