Chemistry

• ALLOTROPES;


  These are elements that have more than one structure. They have different Physical Properties but similar Chemical Properties.
• ALLOTROPES;

  EG; Carbon has Two (2) allotropes. These are Diamond and Graphite.
• ALLOTROPES;

  Chemical Properties; same. Physical Properties; Different.
• Examples of Graphite;

  *Pencil Point. *Polishes. *Brushes for electric motors. *Foundry Facings. *Lubricants. *Crucibles. *Cores of Nuclear Reactors.
• ALLOTRPES; Properties of Diamond.

  *Transparent + sparkling. *High melting points due to strong bonds. *Hardest substance on earth. *Poor conductor of electricity.
• ALLOTROPES; Properties of Graphite.

  *Black, Opaque + Shiny. *High melting points due to strong bonds. *Soft, Flaky + Brittle. *Good conductor of electricity (Mobile ions). *Good Lubricant.
