Question

Consider following four compounds :
(a) $C_xO_y$
(b) $C_xO_{y+1}$
(c) $C_{x+2}O_{y+1}$ and
(d) $C_{x+11}O_{y+8}$
If "$x=y=1$", then calculate the value of $\

Correct answer: P - Q\. Step 1: A network solid (covalent network crystal) consists of atoms held together by covalent bonds in a continuous 3D network. Step 2: Analyze the substances: SiO2 (quartz) and Diamond are classic network solids with exceptionally high melting points. In contrast, P4O10, P4O6, and SO3 are molecular solids consisting of discrete individual molecules. Step 3: Thus, the pair containing only network solids is Diamond and SiO2, corresponding to option (d).
