Use the list given below to answer the following question:

[List: diamond, sodium chloride, silicon dioxide, methane, hydrogen chloride]

Which substance in the list is an example of an element with giant structure of atoms.

Some elements occur in nature in various forms. These are called allotropes of a particular element.

For example,

• The allotropes of carbon are- Graphite, Diamond, Fullerene
• The allotropes of phosphorus are- red phosphorus, white phosphorus, black phosphorus.

Answer:

The allotrope of carbon-Diamond, has a very big 3-D structure. Hence, the element with giant structure of atoms is Diamond.
