no free of ions
giant lattice ionic structure with strong electrostatic ionic bond more energy is needed
magnesium oxide has a double charge than NaCI so the stronger the ionic bond in MgO so
more energy

diamond and graphite have a giant covalent macromolecular structure they have strong
covalent bonds between carbon atoms, so it takes a lot of heat energy to break up the bond
because carbon atom has four outer electrons but each carbon atom in graphite forms 3
covalent bonds with three other carbon atoms, so the 4th electron is free to move through th
graphite carrying the charge
