Chemistry -- Molecules and bonding

Fullernes

Graphene

Uses

Deferntion

Large hollow molecules made of 60 or more repeating patterns of Carbon rings.

These can be used in medcian in many ways

Can be used as an antioxidant, as it can react quickly

Can be used as an anti-aging agent

Anti-damage in the cosmetic sector

Some Fullerenes can form temapery bonds with proteins and DNA. This situation is thought to help the development of anti-cancer treatments.

It can be used to delver to cancer cells quicker

Finally it can form protective layers around DNA to pre-long there life

Deferntion

This is a single layer atomic layer of Carbon in a 2d lattice.

Uses

Flexible electronics

dropped image link

It can be used in Graphene sensors

It can be used in Graphene based Lithium iron battery's

It can also be used in solar cells to increase power production.

ionic bondings

this is when atom gives electrons to another making two opposite charged electrons

Lattices

A lattice is an ordered array of points describing the arrangement of particles that form a crystal. The unit cell of a crystal is defined by the lattice points.

small molecules

This is when two atoms share electrons

covalent bonding

Covalent bonding occurs in most non-metal elements, and in compounds formed between non-metals.

A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs.

macromolecules

These are very large structures

The are normily made of more than one thousand atoms
