About this document
Inorganic Chemistry of Carbon Elements by Skye Edmnet is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Carbon is the fourth most abundant element in the universe. It exists in many allotropes including diamond, graphite, graphene, fullerenes, and carbon nanotubes. Diamond contains carbon atoms in a giant covalent structure using sp3 hybridization. Graphite contains sheets of carbon atoms in a hexagonal structure using sp2 hybridization that allows for conductivity. Graphene is a single sheet of graphite that is very strong yet flexible. Fullerenes and carbon nanotubes also use sp2 hybridization to form hollo
