Diamonds are Forever! L.O: To understand the properties of giant covalent structures Why is diamond so hard? Why can you melt diamond? If diamond is covalent why isn’t it a liquid or gas? Why isn’t graphite called carbon when it is actually just carbon? Why does graphite conduct? Make a carbon molecule? Can you turn it into a macromolecule. C C C C C Giant covalent structures This is diamond what sort of properties do you think it will have? In some substances, millions of atoms join together by covalent bonding. This produces giant covalent structures, (macromolecules) – a 3D structu
