IB Chem exit slip Consider the chemical CBr 4 Draw the lewis structure What shape does it form? Does it contain any polar bonds (if so how many?) Is it a polar molecule? Why or why not?
3
Understanding/Application and skills Carbon and silicon form giant covalent/network covalent/macromolecular structures. Explanation of the properties of giant covalent compounds in terms of their structures. Guidance: Allotropes of carbon (diamond, graphite, graphene, C60 buckminsterfullerene) and SiO 2 should be covered. http://www.chemguide.co.uk/atoms/structures/giantcov.html
4
Giant molecular crystalline solids Also known as network covalent structure or macromolecular structure Different from other covalent substances because they are not discrete molecules – they form a crystalline lattice in which the atoms are linked together by covalent bonds. Effectively a single molecule with a regular repeating pattern of covalent bonds (no finite size)
5
Allotropes of carbon Diamonds Graphite Graphene Fullerene

Silicon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiYnQLI- ufU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiYnQLI- ufU Silicon – structure is a lattice similar to diamond Each Si is bonded to 4 others
