Carbonat de Calciu CaCO3

proprietăţile fizice ale materialelor depind de ordonarea moleculelor

CRETA

COCHILIE

= MOALE

=TARE & FRUMOASĂ

(molecule de CaCO 3 aliniate întâmplător )

(molecule de CaCO3

bine ordonate)

MARMURA = MAI TARE

(molecule de CaCO3

mai bine ordonate)

COCS = MOALE

= TARE

= EXTREM DE TARE ŞI DURABIL

DIAMANT

GRAFIT

Duritatea este măsurată pe scara lui Moch de la 1 la10. Prin scrijeire eementul mai dur poate lăsa urme pe cel mai moale.

How does a carbon Nanotube switch work?

Don’t forget the NANOTUBES and BUCKYBALLS !!

Electronic Bandgap is determined by the Diameter of the tube.

Why is diamond transparent andGraphite black/grey? Think of the way the atoms are Arranged- this changes theBandgap of the material.
