fullerene
10 of 44
Diamond is formed from what element?
carbon
11 of 44
Each carbon atoms forms _ covalent bonds to other carbon atoms?
4
12 of 44
This gives it a very high?
melting and boiling point
13 of 44
It is?

14 of 44
It would require a lot of _______ to _______ the covalent bonds?
a lot of energy to break
15 of 44
It does not conduct what two things?

Which is free to?
move around
21 of 44
And carry?
charge
22 of 44
This allows graphite to do what?
conduct heat and electricity
23 of 44
The covalent bonds are in ______ rings?
hexagonal
24 of 44
And are arranged in?
layers
25 of 44
However the layers are not ______ together meaning they can ?
not bonded together meaning they can move
26 of 44
This gives graphite what two properties?
soft and slippery
27 of 44
This makes it ideal as a what?
lubricant
28 of 44
Due to the strong covalent bonds, graphite high?
melting and boiling points
29 of 44
However Graphite is NOT?
