graphene and fullerenes

graphene is a single layer of ?

graphene is a single layer of graphite

properties of graphene

graphene is a single layer of graphite,very strong,high mp and bp,

why is graphene is a single layer of graphite

graphene is a single layer of graphite because it has delocalised electrons that move through the graphene molecule carrying electrical charge

why is graphene strong and have high mp and bp

graphene is strong and has a high mp and bp as graphene has a large number of strong covalent bonds that need ltos of energy to break

fullurenes have rings with how many carbon atoms?

fullurenes have rings with 5 or 7 carbon atoms

buckminsterfullerene has …..carbon atoms arranged in a ………. …..

buckminsterfullerene has 60 carbon atoms arranged in a hollow sphere

buckminsterfullerene how many carbon atoms do carbon atoms form rings with?

buckminsterfullerene -the carbon atoms form rings with 6 or 5 carbon atoms

the first fullerene to be discovered was ?

the first fullerene to be discovered was buckminsterfullerene

use of fullerene- what can they be used as?

they can be used as lubricants to deliver drugs in the body and catalysts

use of fullerene- what can they be used as?

fullerenes can be used as catylsysts to speed up chemical reactions

carbon nanotubes have high tensile strength so we can apply lots of stretching force to a carbon nanotube before it breaks

can carbon nanotubes conduct electricity?

carbon nanotubes conduct electricity as they have delocalised electrons
