Type of covalent bonding that is found in the diamond

What are the types of covalent bonds those link carbon atoms in diamond and graphite?​

Answered by admin @



Explanation:

  • each carbon atom forms three covalent bonds with other carbon atoms.
  • the carbon atoms form layers of hexagonal rings.
  • there are no covalent bonds between the layers.
  • there is one non-bonded - or delocalised - electron from each atom.
  • Carbon has an electronic arrangement of 2,4. In diamond, each carbon shares electrons with four other carbon atoms - forming four single bonds. In the diagram some carbon atoms only seem to be forming two bonds (or even one bond), but that's not really the case.
