Diamond, graphite and graphene are forms of carbon with different giant covalent structures. Metals and alloys - AQA The structure of metals explains their high melting and boiling points and ...
In this episode, Dr Sunayana Bhargava and Tulela Pea explore the properties of giant covalent structures including diamond, graphite and polymers such as polythene. SUNAYANA: I’m Dr Sunayana ...
Diamond owes its hardness to its latticed molecular structure. Each carbon atom is ... creating strong covalent bonds, and this results in a highly stable and rigid structure.
