Insoluble in water, does conduct electricity, high melting point, slippery 2 of 6 Diamond and graphite are both _________ of carbon Allotropes 3 of 6 The carbon atoms are joined together by which bond? Covalent - high melting points. 4 of 6 Explain the structure of diamond Each carbon atom is joined to 4 others. No free electrons - cannot conduct electricity. 5 of 6 Explain the structure of graphite Layered structure. Each carbon atom is joined to 3 others. Weak forces between layers- slippery. Delocalised electrons - conduct electricity 6 of 6
