Why does silicon (group 4) have a giant structure?
Respuesta
Group for elements can react and join to multiple atoms, this happens here and a giant structure is formed.
Silicon atoms join to others in al directions, so giant structure is formed.
They have four covalent bonds, so form to four other atoms, this continues until a giant structure is formed.

How are the atoms in sodium (metal) held together?
Respuesta
Atoms share electrons with each so all atoms have a full outer shell, this holds the atoms in place together. (forces between atoms are strong)
Outer electrons delocalise, leaving a lattice of positive ions, the delocalised electrons attract positive ions and hold them in position. (Electrostatic forces are strong)
Metallic atoms attract each other and are held together by strong magnetic forces.
