Chemical economics To complete this task you are required to research information and insert the information into the correct slides. You can add additional slides if needed!! You will be researching the forms of carbon You will be examining their structure Explaining the properties of diamond, graphite, fullerenes and Nanotubes
Objectives (you need to know this for you exam) To know what an allotrope is. To know examples of carbon allotropes and how their structures affects their properties. To know how their properties define their uses To recognise the structure of carbon allotropes.
Allotropes Insert definition Add images and annotations of diamond, graphite, Buckminster fullerene
Graphite Add information on the uses Physical properties Properties (good/ poor conductor?, melting point, bond types) How properties link with uses Insert an image of the structure of graphite
Diamond Add information on the uses Physical properties Properties (good/ poor conductor?, melting point, bond types) How properties link with uses Insert an image of the structure of diamond
Buckminster fullerine (Bucky balls Add information on the uses Physical properties Properties in solid and liquid state (good/ poor conductor?, melting point, bond types) How properties link with uses What does it mean by ‘cage’ and ‘caged molecules?’ Insert an image of the structure of Bucky balls and nanotubes
Giant structures Covalent bonds 3D Go on into infinity Have high melting points Make crystals Add information to this slide to help you Remember when you revise!
Plenary – true or false? Carbon is an element. Silicon dioxide forms a giant structure. Ionic bonds are found in graphite. Graphite is an insulator. Diamond is hard and crystalline. Graphite has only localised electrons. Bucky balls are an allotrope of carbon.
