Descriptions

Build a 3 layer skeletal representation of a graphite crystal model with this versatile kit. You will easily be able to identify the unit cells and appreciate their orientation in the creation of this crystal.  Explore the graphite structure and find a deeper understanding of the hybridization concept. Discover the underlining principles behind the allotropes of carbon, the strength of its bonds and compare and contrast the properties of the different pure carbon structures such as hybridization, resonance and electrical conductivity.
