If diamond is a giant covalent structure extending in all directions, there must eventually be an edge... What happens to the Carbon atoms at the edge of the diamond - how are their bonds satisfied as this structure leaves several bonds unsatisfied? Great video, by the way, apart from this. Thanks.
Actually Its most of the atoms of carbon in diamonds that are covalently bonded to 4 other carbon atoms, there is an edge to diamonds and there always will be, the thing is the carbon atoms at the very edge may have reacted with its surrounding for examples...oxygen, CO2 etc. In GCSE this is also knows as oxidation.

Hi Cognito, I have watched so many of your videos now across all the sciences and even maths I think and I find them unbelievably helpful. They are short and are easy to understand. I think its really admirable that you have made these resources for students (especially across many exam boards as your website is one of the best of the few resources for edexcel igcse) and I think I'm going to ace my coming mocks and then real exams in the summer with your help. Thank you very much
wait i am just a little confused as you said indivisual layers are held together weekly as there are no covalent bonds between them, but then you said the indivisual layers ARE strongly held together with covalent bonds ?
I love your work :) My students will be here soon, but not yet. Please can I ask you to do a trawl and edit using mark schemes for what the exam boards love and hate in terms of key words. Taking a couple of examples from this video, they would reward shared PAIR of electrons and not award shared electrons. Even worse, they put REJECT on spare electrons and LOVE delocalised electrons. So when I mark papers I think of all the students who revised carefully and then lost a mark for that sort of stuff. Thanks again for lovely graphics and narration.
Your videos are so good, have you got any tips for revising and getting your schedule done, because for me personally it’s very hard to complete a lot💭
Thanks! I would say: 1 - Make a weekly plan of roughly what you want to get done. 2 - Each night make a detailed ish plan for the next day. 3 - Record what you do throughout the day, and look back at it at the end of the day to: a) feel good about how much you've done and b) recap what you've learnt. Hope that helps :)
in 1:57 you say the individual layers are held together weakly since there are no covalent bonds between them, then at 2:14 you say the individual layers are held strong with covalent bonds, make it make sense!
the layers are held weakly, however WITHIN the layers, the carbon electrons themselves are held together strong with covalent bonds, so the layers are not secure however the electrons within them are secured together tightly.
The bonds between layers are weak, intermolecular forces, but the forces between the individual atoms *of a single layer* are strong covalent bonds. However, due to convention the whole piece of graphite is referred to as a giant covalent structure, even though in reality, only each layer is a covalent structure. I don’t think I drew this very clearly - hope this explanation helps! - Tom

That’s probably A level work
Yeah I wouldn’t bother 😂
No thanks

Thank you so much! I am a remote learner and content such as this facilitates me in visualising the concepts! :)

I had been asking my teacher to explain this to me from months but she did not and you cleared all my doubts in less than five minutes thank youu ❤❤
you're a star, I am a training to be a teacher to be honest, your videos are so great I learn so much in 5 minutes. Your videos help alot.
I wish u success 💕
Through these videos i can clearly understand what us being taught in detail as it answers all my queries. Thanks for the wonderful video
Your videos have gotten me through all my work. Hopefully You could add practice questions somehow to test out understanding
that's actually a good idea hope he does
there is the Cognito website, that has questions
you are always my go to!
These videos are soooo good for a person of my limited reading ability I get so much for the visual- thank you
From india......nice 👍 video
If diamond is bonded with 4 carbon atoms and graphite 3 then why did you say that graphite has a spare electron not used in covalent bonding?
you are saving lives broooooo
wait i am just a little confused as you said indivisual layers are held together weekly as there are no covalent bonds between them, but then you said the indivisual layers ARE strongly held together with covalent bonds ?
There's strong covalent bond between carbon molecules in one layer but no covalent bond (Weak Van Der Waal's force ) between one layer to the other
Great video! Could you perhaps do a video about hydrocarbons and fractional distillation soon? Xx
Heya, thanks for that! We are working our way through the course, so we'll hopefully get there mid to late March, but we'll be as quick as we can :)

Cognito thanks, I will mention you in my videos on my TH-cam channel because a lot of people would learn well from you x

@@watchamacallit4812 That makes alot more sense, i appreciate it.
awesome video! this helped me a lot!! thank you cognito
Army yay!
Wow so helpful. I’m just here because of school though
this video is amazing
thank you very much
A very helpful video. Thank you

Thank you Tom it helped!
Allotropes do not have the same physical state actually what makes it differ from anything else is its ability to exist in different physical forms
Thanks
Wow amazing🎉
Good
what are the weak forces between graphite layers called?
weak intermolecular forces
th-cam.com/video/tJ2mQ6CR3Wc/w-d-xo.html
Diamond is graphite blade
Weak Intermolleculuar forces
Vander wall forces
How does graphite have one delocalised electron?
Because it is bonded to three other carbon atoms, not four.
Thank you sm was so helpful ❤❤❤
Hi, Can I share this video to HK
students, I will specify your TH-cam channel in the video.
Just saved me thank you 😭
Ty so much
Thank you!
this a really nice video
Thanks a lot 👍👍
Thank you so much!!!
what a guy
Good vedio
Thank ya so much dude
THANK YOUU😭
very nice vid

Fuck yeah!
is this in paper 2??
Yep. Paper 2 and 4
Drop like from india❤❤
Hi this vid is very helpful, can you do a video on carbon fibre or other strong materials
