Revise AQA GCSE Chemistry 2.3.1 Diamond with the question bank, lessons, revision guides, and flashcards.
In diamond, each carbon atom forms four covalent bonds with other carbon atoms in a giant covalent structure, so diamond is very hard, has a very high melting point and does not conduct electricity. Students should be able to explain the properties of diamond in terms of its structure and bonding.
