(Hold the left mouse button down over the image and move the mouse to rotate the graphite molecule). Notice that graphite is layered. While there are strong covalent bonds between carbon atoms in each layer, there are only weak forces between layers. This allows layers of carbon to slide ov...
The structure of diamond is very rigid. Each carbon atom in it is joined to four other carbon atoms forming a rigid tetrahedron structure. One carbon atom is present at the centre of a regular 1 tetrahedron while four others occupy the corners. This type
What are the physical properties of graphite? Why is diamond so hard to break? Explain the differences between graphite and diamond as types of allotropes of carbon. Why is entropy described as an extensive property? Why does water have high entropy? Describe the structure of graphite. Graphite...
Arch support is a term used for a large variety of shoe inserts that help support the arches of the foot. This can have a very broad range of devices from a basic pad to a hard graphite custom-molded support. For most purposes, arch support is an insert that goes into your shoes and...
