diamond lattice 3d model

DIAMOND (Carbon Allotrope) — 3D STRUCTURE INSTRUCTIONS Scientific Rules: - Element: Carbon (C) - Allotrope: Diamond - Bond type: Single covalent bonds only - Hybridization: sp3 - Geometry: Tetrahedral - Bond angle: 109.5 degrees - Structure type: Giant 3D covalent network Atomic Connectivity (up to 3 layers): - Central atom C0 is bonded to 4 carbon atoms: C1, C2, C3, C4 - Each bond from C0 is oriented toward the corners of a tetrahedron Layer 1: - C1 is bonded to C0, C5, C6, C7 - C2 is bonded to C0, C8, C9, C10 - C3 is bonded to C0, C11, C12, C13 - C4 is bonded to C0, C14, C15, C16 Layer 2: - Each new carbon atom (C5–C16) is bonded to 3 additional carbon atoms - Bonds extend in different 3D directions - No atoms lie in a flat plane Model Limits (for low lag): - Total atoms: 25–30 carbon atoms - Show only 2–3 coordination layers - Do NOT attempt infinite repetition Visual & Texture Instructions: - Atoms: Smooth spheres, light grey or pale blue - Bonds: Thin cylinders
