Bonding
Across
- 3. The allotrope of carbon used as a lubricant and in electrodes, due to its layered structure (8 letters)
- 5. The bond type involving the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions (5 letters)
- 8. The full term for the forces of attraction between individual simple covalent molecules (16 letters)
- 9. A single layer of graphite that is one atom thick and extremely strong (8 letters)
- 10. The type of intermolecular force broken when a simple molecular substance melts or boils (4 letters)
- 11. The term for the mobile electrons between the layers in graphite, allowing it to conduct electricity (11 letters)
