Non-metal atoms sharing electrons Can form two structures: Simple molecular structure (last class) ◦ Simple, small molecules ◦ Strong intra-molecular covalent bonds ◦ Weak intermolecular bonds (between molecules) ◦ Low melting and boiling points Giant covalent structure ◦ Huge, 3-D structure ◦ Strong intermolecular bonds lead to high melting and boiling points
3
Element, solid, non-metal Atomic Number =6, Atomic mass=12.01 amu Has many allotropes – different molecular forms (configurations/structures) in the same state Can you think of some?
4
Diamond Graphite Fullerenes (buckyball) Carbon nanotubes
5
Make a table with four headings: ◦ Diamond ◦ Graphite ◦ Buckminsterfullerne (C 60 ) ◦ Carbon nanotubes (CNT) List all the properties you can think of. Then discuss and compare tables as a class.

LifeGem – Company based in Illinois, USA www.lifegem.com www.lifegem.com Scroll down and select the “created from carbon” hyperlink to see the process Cool, eh?
8
O – Oxygen (O 2 ) and Ozone (O 3 )
9
Will have different structure Will have different chemical and physical properties (eg. Reactivity or colour) Different potential uses in the scientific community and society
