Does Carbon dioxide form a simple or giant covalent structure?
Simple - you can tell because it is a gas at room temp.
What is the name give to the large, cage like structure carbon can form using covalent bonds?
Fullerene or Bucky-ball
What is the difference between graphite and graphene
Graphene has only 1 layer of carbon atoms. Graphite has many layers
Which carbon structure can be used as a delivery system for drugs into specific sites in the body?
Fullerenes or Bucky-balls
What is the diameter of a Buckyball?: 1m, 1mm, 1cm, 1um, 1nm.
1nm (nanometer)
The smallest Fullerene/Buckyball is made of 60 atoms of which element?
Carbon
How could a Fullerene/Buckyball improve the delivery of drug molecules to a particular site in the body?
Protect the drug molecules from the bodies digestive system and kidneys. The coating of the Buckyball can make the body take it to the required site.
What is the name given to a sheet of graphene which has been rolled into a tube.
Carbon nanotube
What is the name of the intermolecular forces between water molecules?
Hydrogen bonds
