 * 34 18 Aug || // Forms of carbon - allotropes //

// Graphite, diamond, bucky balls, graphene // // Properties - hardness; conductivity. //

// Carbon cycle //

// Fossil fuel formation. // // What are fossil fuels ? //

// Balancing simple chemical equations // || * define the term allotrope
 * the structures and properties of the two most common forms of carbon
 * apply ideas about bonding to explain the properties of diamond and graphite
 * outline the process by which fossil fuels were formed
 * identify the main stages of the carbon cycle
 * balance simple chemical equations || 9A: Missed the lesson on Thursday ? Here are the notes: [[file:Untitled_Message.zip]]


 * // Equation balancing rules: //**
 * // 1.There must be the same number of each type of atom on each side of the reaction (eg the number of atoms of element X in the reactants must be the same as the number of atoms of element X in the products) //**
 * //2. You cannot change the molecules produced by altering the 'small numbers' - you can only change the large numbers eg 2H// 2 //O not H// 4 //O//**
