Q. What type of chemical bond do you believe connects the atoms of Graphene? Why?
A. A Graphene sheet is essentially a one layer thick graphite structure, an allotrope of carbon that forms hexagonal rings. The bonding in atoms of Graphene is essentially a covalent bond between carbon atoms. Each of the carbon atoms present in Graphene shares its valence electrons with three other carbon atoms forming a triple directional bond pattern on each carbon atom. This creates hexagonal ring like structures that constitute the two dimensional lattice of Graphene. Q. Based on what you have learned in this chapter about the properties of water, why is that water is able to permeate "pass through" Graphene? ...
