6) Write the structure and properties of diamond atom,
Answers
Explanation:
Structure of Diamond and Uses
The carbon atoms, here are sp3 hybridized, and the bond lengths of carbon-carbon atom are equal. Hence Diamond forms a three-dimensional network of strong covalent bonds. Diamond has a very high melting point of about 3843 K and a high density of about 3.51 g/cm3.
In a diamond, the carbon atoms are arranged tetrahedrally. Each carbon atom is attached to four other carbon atoms 1.544 x 10-10 meter away with a C-C-C bond angle of 109.5 degrees. It is a strong, rigid three-dimensional structure that results in an infinite network of atoms.
properties:
Hardness.
Low coefficient of friction.
High thermal conductivity.
High electrical resistivity.
Low thermal expansion coefficient.
High strength.
Broad optical transparency from ultra violet to infra red
