Covalent crystals are formed by sharing of valence electrons between two atoms resulting in the formation of a covalent bond.
The covalent bonds extend in two or three dimensions forming a giant interlocking structure called network. Diamond and graphite are the good examples of this type
.
Silicon (Si): Covalent solid
Sulphur (S

): Molecular solid
Phosphorus (P
