Graphite Hexagonal Unit Cell
SKU: 68788W
The unit cell of hexagonal graphite is shown by purple atoms which have replaced 15 black ones. This unit cell intersects3 layers. The middle, B layer, 5 purple atoms is antiparallel to the 5 atoms in the A layers above & below.
The purple trigonal bipyramdal atoms are not included. They are listed in the Related Products section below. You need to add 15 of them to the shopping cart. If you are buying only one kit, this will also be enough to show the unit cell in the alternate rhombohedral version.
You can compare this structure to the beta-rhombohedral unit cell.
