Q
4 allotropes of carbon
A
graphene, graphite, diamond, C60
2
Q
bonding of graphite
A
- each carbon is bonded to 3 other carbons
- all carbons are sp2 hybridized
- layers are held together by London Dispersion Forces
- weak intermolecular forces
3

bonding of diamond
A
- each carbon is bonded to 4 other carbons
- all carbons are sp3 hybridized
4
Q
bonding of C60
A
- each carbon is bonded to 3 other carbons
- all carbons are sp2 hybridized
- carbons form 60 member sphere
5

6
Q
physical properties of graphene (that make it useful)
A
- good electrical conductor
- good thermal conductor (best)
- strong
- high melting point
- flexible
7
Q
physical properties of graphite
A
- good electrical conductor
- low thermal conductivity
- high melting point
8
Q
physical properties of diamond
A
- not electrical conductive
- very high thermal conductivity
- high melting point
9

physical properties of C60
A
- semi electrical conductor
- very low thermal conductivity

10
Q
elemental silicon
A
- lot like diamond
- each silicon atom is covalently bonded to 4 other silicon atoms
- all silicon is sp3 hybridized
- results in giant lattice structure
11
Q
silicon dioxide (SiO2)
A
- silica / quartz
- giant covalent structure based on tetrahedral arrangement
- each silicon atom is bonded to 4 oxygen atoms
- each oxygen atom is bonded to 2 silicon atoms
- strong
- insoluble
- high melting point
- non-conductor of electricity

17
Q
ammonium
A
NH4 +
18
Q
phosphate
A
PO4 3-
19
Q
transitional metals
A
- have electron configuration that allows them to lose different # of electrons from their d sub-shell
- form stable ions with different charges -> these ions would have distinct properties such as colors
