Structure And Bonding Of Carbon
Bayani Gaba-gaba
Sharpen a pencil and you are holding one of the softest solids in the laboratory. Look at a ring set with a diamond and you are looking at the hardest natural material on Earth. Yet nothing separates them at the level of the atom. Both are pure carbon: the same element, six protons in every nucleus, no impurity that matters. What differs is how the atoms are joined up, and that turns out to be everything.
This lesson takes that difference apart. You will count the bonds each carbon atom makes in a diamond and in a flake of pencil lead, work out why sheets held to each other by almost nothing are exactly what a lubricant needs, hunt down the one spare electron that lets a pencil line carry a current, and meet the hollow cage molecules chemists have built out of the same element since 1985. It is also the topic where this course draws its sharpest tier line, so you will find out exactly which half of the story every candidate has to know and which half belongs to the Extension Tier alone.
Manufura
- The element carbon can form four covalent bonds.
- In diamond, each carbon atom forms four covalent bonds with other carbon atoms in a giant covalent structure, so diamond is very hard.
- In graphite, each carbon atom bonds to three others, forming layers. The layers are free to slide over each other because there are no covalent bonds between the layers and so graphite is soft and slippery. Extension Tier students should be able to explain the properties of graphite in terms of weak forces between the layers.
- In graphite, one electron from each carbon atom is delocalised. These delocalised electrons allow graphite to conduct heat and electricity. Students should realise that graphite is similar to metals in that it has delocalised electrons.
- Carbon can also form fullerenes with different numbers of carbon atoms. Fullerenes can be used for drug delivery into the body, in lubricants, as catalysts, and in nanotubes for reinforcing materials, eg in tennis racquets. Students are only required to know that the structure of fullerenes is based on hexagonal rings of carbon atoms.
