  1. Carbon chemistry Carbon’s Special Bonding Characteristics

  2. Carbon Atoms and Bonding Carbon’s atomic number is 6 • Carbon can has ____ valence electrons and can form _____ bonds.

  3. Carbon Atoms and Bonding Carbon’s atomic number is 6 Carbon does not lose or gain electrons. • Carbon can has ____ valence electrons and can form _____ bonds. • How does carbon form bonds?

  4. Carbon Atoms and Bonding Carbon’s atomic number is 6 Carbon does not lose or gain electrons. Carbon is central to life. • Carbon can has ____ valence electrons and can form _____ bonds. • How does carbon form bonds? • Describe how carbon is special in its bonding abilities.

  5. Examples of carbon’s bonding structures • In this space, draw some examples of ways carbon can bond and label them: • Straight chain • Branched chain • Ring

  6. Examples of carbon’s bonding structures • In this space, draw some examples of ways carbon can bond and label them:

  7. …break for activity • Take a small scrap of paper and fold it over on itself. • Rub the paper across itself and note how it feels. • Take a second, similar scrap and rub graphite from your pencil over it until you have a large, dark, shiny area. • Fold the paper so that the graphite overlaps itself and rub that part together • Compare the difference between the two papers.

  8. Forms of Pure Carbon • Because carbon can bond in many ways, the pure element carbon can exist in many forms:

  9. Forms of Pure Carbon Ways carbon can bond with itself • Because carbon can bond in many ways, the pure element carbon can exist in many forms: • Diamonds –extremely hard because of bonding in all directions

  10. Forms of Pure Carbon Ways carbon can bond with itself • Because carbon can bond in many ways, the pure element carbon can exist in many forms: • Diamonds –extremely hard because of bonding in all directions • Graphite – slippery because of bonding in layers without strong bonds between layers

  11. Forms of Pure Carbon Ways carbon can bond with itself • Because carbon can bond in many ways, the pure element carbon can exist in many forms: • Diamonds –extremely hard because of bonding in all directions • Graphite – slippery because of bonding in layers without strong bonds between layers • Fullerine – shaped like a ball

  12. Forms of Pure Carbon Ways carbon can bond with itself • Because carbon can bond in many ways, the pure element carbon can exist in many forms: • Diamonds –extremely hard because of bonding in all directions • Graphite – slippery because of bonding in layers without strong bonds between layers • Fullerine – shaped like a ball • Nanotube – shaped like a tube
