How does a network solid differ from most other covalent compounds

Covalent compounds are held by intermolecular forces while network solids are held by strong bonds in unit cells which are closely packed together.

Explanation:

Covalent compound molecules are held by vanderwaals forces which are relatively weak but strong enough to hold some covalent molecules together in the solid state. However, network solids contain atom to atom covalent bonds arranged in an orderly manner and regular repeating unit cells to form a rigid three dimensional network solid.

yes it is balanced

answer: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

explanation: chemical change is the change in which chemical composition of the substance changes. physical change is the change in which there is no change in chemical composition.

chemical changes are accompanied by following changes:

a) precipitate formation

b) energy is released or absorbed

c) formation of bubbles

d) change in color

as it is given that the red color has disappeared and there is production of gas, it means the red substance has undergone a chemical change.
