Graphite has a layered structure, with each layer made up of six-membered rings of carbon fused with other similar rings on all sides. The Lewis structure shows alternating single and double bonds. Diamond is an insulator, and graphite is a moderately good conductor. Explain these facts in terms of the bonding in each. (Conductance of graphite is significantly lower than metals but is higher than most nonmetals.) What behavior would you predict for arbon nanotubes, the cylindrical form of fullerenes?
