Covalent Bonds
This sharing of electrons is called covalent bonding.
In an oxygen atom, the outer shell has 6 electrons, so to achieve
an octet structure of 8 electrons like neon, two oxygen atoms
combine to share 4 electrons.

Simple molecules
Many covalent substances like water,
methane, carbon dioxide and iodine
exist as small molecules.
These compounds are said to have
simple molecular structures.

Macromolecules
Some covalent substances like silicon
dioxide (SiO2), diamond and graphite are
made up of very large molecules.
These substances are said to have
macromolecular structures.

Properties of Macromolecules
Due to the large structures of these macromolecules,
their chemical and physical properties are different
from those of the simple molecules.
The macromolecules are solids with very high melting
and boiling points.
E.g. The melting point of diamond is 3550 oC,
compared to 0 oC for water.
Due to their sizes, they are also not as reactive
compared to the simple molecules.

Metallic bonding
Metals are also made up of very large lattice structures.
The metallic structure consists of a lattice of positive ions
in a “sea of electrons”.
Metals are malleable because the layers of atoms can
slide over one another easily as they are being arranged
in neat layers.

Structure of graphite
In graphite, each carbon atom is linked to three other
carbon atoms in the same plane by strong covalent
bonds
The .
carbon atoms form six-member hexagonal rings that link up
to form flat layers.
The hexagonal rings are arranged in parallel layers with weak
forces of attraction between the atoms in each layer.

Uses of graphite
Graphite being smooth and slippery, is used in making
lubricants for use in machinery, motorcar engines and
even bicycle chains.
Graphite being chemically unreactive and a conductor
of electricity, is used in making electrodes for use in
electrolysis and in dry cells.
Due to its very high melting point, graphite is used as
a heat insulator.
insulator It is used to coat the nose of a
space shuttle.
