crystal types Flashcards
bonding in graphite ?
covalent
what is the crystal type in graphite ?
macromolecular
can graphite conduce electricity ?
yes it conducts along the layers
what is graphite melting point like ?
high as many strong covalent bonds require a lot of energy to overcome
bonding in diamond ?
covalent
crystal type of diamond ?
macromolecular
can diamond conduct electricity ?
no it’s a insulator
what is the diamond melting point like ?
high melting point as lots of strong covalent bonds require alot of energy to overcome
bonding in Buckminster fullerene?
covalelant
crystal type of Buckminster fullerene?
molecular
can Buckminster fullerene conduct electricity ?
insulator as molecules nanotube fullorine can conduct as one tube .
explain the melting point of Buckminster fullerene?
low as inter molecular forces are weak and require little energy to overcome
bonding in methane ?
covalent
crystal type of methane ?
molecular
can methane conduct electricity ?
nope it’s an insulator
