Carbon has a number of allotropes, (forms)
Graphite - sheets of fused hexagons
Diamond - giant molecule Lonsdaleite another crystalline form similar to diamond
fullerenes- finite"spheres" with 5 and six membered rings of carbon and tubes
They are all covalently bonded- most have delocalised electrons - exceptions are diamond and lonsdaleite
Wikipedia article is not a good article but it does have some informative pictures
What else can I help you with?
Is carbon dioxide an element or a molecule?
Its a molecule because it is made up of 1 part Carbon(element) and 2 parts Oxygen(element). These elements combine to form a molecule
Is 1 atom of carbon a molecule or element?
One carbon atom is an element. You must have two or more atoms to make a molecule.
Is carbon a bad molecule?
Carbon is not a molecule; it is an element. An element is a substance containing only one type of atom. Carbon molecules are collections of carbon atoms. No chemical element is "good" or "bad"; they just exist.
How many atoms of each kind of element are there in in a molecule of carbon dioxide?
One Carbon (C) atom and two Oxygen atoms (O). CO2.
How many of each kind of element are there in a molecule of carbon dioxide?
1 Carbon atom and 2 Oxygen atoms. The formula is CO2, which means that there are one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen in one molecule. The subscripts tell you the numbers of each element. No number is understood to be one.
What element is required to be a part of a molecule to make that molecule organic?
Carbon is the element required to be a part of a molecule to make it organic. Organic compounds are those that contain carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds.
Carbon-12 represents what type of molecule?
It's not a molecule, it is an element
How many atoms of each kind of element are there in a molecule of carbon dioxide?
1 Carbon atom and 2 Oxygen atoms. The formula is CO2, which means that there are one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen in one molecule. The subscripts tell you the numbers of each element. No number is understood to be one.
Is carbon a molecule or a atom?
Carbon is an element. Elements are atoms at its simplest. A molecule is a collection of atoms connected by an electric charge.
Is CO2 a element or a molecule explain why?
CO2 is a molecule. A molecule is a group of two or more elements binded together. An element is the thing that makes up the molecule. For example, the C in CO2 stands for Carbon, and element. And O stands for Oxygen, another element. The two means that there are two oxygen in this molecule.
What element is found in Carbon monoxide?
1 x carbon and 1 x oxygen molecule carbon and monoxide monoxide is one oxygen molecule
Is carbon an element or a Molecule?
carbon is an element .. but it has a self linking property wherein more than one carbon atoms link together to form a molecule
