Chemical Properties: Graphene đȘ GCSE Chemistry Learning & Revision
Manage episode 475922240 series 3139602
In this episode, graphene, a unique form of carbon, is explored regarding its fundamental characteristics.
The provided text highlights graphene's ability to conduct electricity due to its freely moving electrons, a trait it shares with graphite as a single-layer derivative.
Despite its incredibly thin, two-dimensional structure, graphene exhibits remarkable lightness coupled with substantial strength because of its strong atomic bonds.
Consequently, the material holds significant promise across various sectors, notably in electronics and composite materials, where its strength-to-weight ratio is particularly advantageous for applications like batteries and solar panels.
