3.12—The different structures formed by giant lattices of carbon atoms

Be able to describe the different structures formed by giant lattices of carbon atoms, including graphite, diamond and graphene, and discuss the applications of each.

Use —the different structures formed by giant lattices of carbon atoms to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because —the different structures formed by giant lattices of carbon atoms determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply —the different structures formed by giant lattices of carbon atoms to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: —The different structures formed by giant lattices of carbon atoms is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
