About This Product
Students study the octahedral form, pick out the carbon atoms and follow how each one is covalently bonded into an extended three-dimensional network. Setting the model beside a graphite structure shows how the same element can be arranged differently, which leads into discussion of how atomic arrangement shapes physical properties.
