Giant Covalent Structures
Akopọ
Diamond and graphite are both made of nothing but carbon atoms, yet one is the hardest natural substance known and the other is soft enough to write with. The reason is not the atoms but how they are bonded into giant structures. This is one of chemistry's most striking lessons.
In this lesson you will learn what a giant covalent structure is, and how the different arrangements of carbon atoms in diamond and graphite give them such contrasting properties. You will link each property directly to the structure and bonding.
