33
Q

What’s the RFM definition

A

The sum of the masses of the atoms in a substance

34
Q

What’s the empirical formulae

A

It’s the simplest ratio of the elements in the formula

35

41
Q

What is the mass equation know as

A

Conservation of mass

42
Q

What’s stoichiometry

A

The ratio of substances in an equation

43
Q

What are fullerenes

A

Allotropes of carbon, that are simple molecules

44
Q

How many bonds do each carbon atom have in fullerenes

A

3

45
Q

What shape are fullerenes usually

A

Tubular or spherical

46
Q

What type of forces do fullerenes have

A

Weak intermolecular forces

47
Q

Name some properties of fullerenes

A

Low melting points, soft and slippery

48
Q

How are the molecules themselves strong in fullerenes

A

Due to strong covalent bonds

49
Q

What type of molecule is graphene

A

Not simple

50
Q

What does graphene have in terms of composition

A

A sheet of carbon atoms with no fixed formula

51
Q

What is the lightest known material

A

Graphene

52
Q

Why is graphene strong but a good conductor

A

It’s strong due to the strong covalent bonds and a good conductor due to the free electrons

53
Q

How many bonds does graphite have

A

3, so a layered structure and not all carbon atoms are bonded

54
Q

What is graphite also used as

A

A lubricant

55
Q

Why is graphite used for electrodes

A

It’s cheap and a good conductor

56
Q

How many bonds does diamond have

A

4, so there are no free binds therefore a good insulator

57
Q

What does diatomic mean

A

It has two of the same atom
