New AP & General Chemistry Video Playlist - Structure of Diamond and Graphite, Properties - Basic Introduction

This chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the structure of diamond and graphite. Diamond has a tetrahedral geometry around each carbon atom with an sp3 hybridization. Graphite has a trigonal planar geometry around each carbon atom with an sp2 hybridization. Graphite conducts electricity due to the electron delocalization of its pi electrons where as diamond as an electrical insulator due to its localized valence electrons; however, diamond is excellent conductor of heat. Diamond is colorless and graphite is black. Diamond is hard due to its strong network covalent bonds where as graphite is slippery due to the weak interactions between the 2D layers within the structure of graphite.
