Giant Molecules: Graphene, Fullerenes, Polymers

Giant molecules are substances where a vast number of atoms are joined together by strong covalent bonds, forming a continuous network or a very large single molecule. Carbon, with its unique ability to form four stable covalent bonds, is exceptionally versatile in creating such structures. These giant molecules exhibit distinct properties compared to simple molecular substances, often due to their extensive bonding networks.
