Macromolecules
- Diamond
- Each carbon atom
- >Strongly bonded to 4 other carbon atoms
- >In Giant 3D lattice structure
- Hard
- Drills
- Cutting tools
- Don't conduct electricity
- No charged Particles of free electrons
- High melting and Boiling Point.
- Graphite
- Each Carbon atom
- >Strongly bonded to 3 other carbon atoms
- >turning layers of hexagon
- Weak Forces of Attraction
- Between layers
- So can slide over each other
- Used as:
- Pencil leads
- lubricant
- 3 of outer electrons
in each carbon atom.
- used to make the covalent bonds
- The fourth electron
- delocalised between layers.
- Delocalised Electrons
- Allows graphite to conduct electricity.
- High Melting and Boiling Point
- Strong Covalent Bonds
- Giant Structure
- Silicon
Dioxide (Sand)
- 3D structure like Diamond
- Silicon and oxygen atoms
bonded together strongly.
- High Melting and Boiling Point
- NEVER conducts electricity.
