List the main differences between Diamond and Graphite
In diamond the Carbon bonds to four other carbons. In Graphite the carbon bonds to three other carbons. Diamond forms a tetrahedral shape. Graphite forms a trigonal planar shape, and forms layers. Graphite can conduct electricity Diamond can't.

Metallic stucture
An arry of positive anions that are formed by giving an electron the sea of delocalized electrons that surround the anions.
5 of 10
Carbon Nanotubes
Have a diameter of about 1nm and a length millions of times greater. A singe layer of graphite rolled into a cylinder. Can be good conductors of heat and electricity, used in engineering clothing and fuel and solar cells.
6 of 10
Smart Materials
Properties change depending on conditions applied, such as pH, stress and temperature. Example include Photochromic and thermochromic materials used in sunglasses and ***** thermometers.
7 of 10
Properties of giant ionic structures?
Hard, brittle and have a high melting temperature. Can only conduct electricity on aqueous state as there is no free electron in the solid state. Solubility depends but most ionic chlorides are soluble.
8 of 10
Properties of giant covalent structures?
They have a very high melting point and are insoluble in water.
9 of 10
Properties of carbon nanotubes?
They are among the strongest and stiffest materials known.
