  • Silicon Dioxide (SiO2): Understanding its Macromolecular Structure
    The oxide that has a macromolecular structure is silicon dioxide (SiO₂) , also known as silica.

    Here's why:

    * Macromolecular structure: This means the compound is formed by a continuous network of repeating units, held together by strong covalent bonds.

    * Silicon dioxide: Each silicon atom is covalently bonded to four oxygen atoms, and each oxygen atom is bonded to two silicon atoms. This creates a giant, three-dimensional network structure extending throughout the entire crystal.
