About This Product
With the model on the bench, students identify the three layers and the hexagonal rings of carbon within each one. The layered geometry gives a visual reference for discussing bonding, crystal structure and how atomic arrangement relates to the properties of graphite, and it can be compared with a diamond model when studying carbon allotropes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the layered structure show? Graphite is made of layers of hexagonally arranged carbon atoms. The three layers of the model let students see this arrangement and relate it to the material's properties.
