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
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
