Next, Diamond/ Graphite/ fullerenes/ structure and bonding (S and B), differences, uses (and explain in terms of S and B). Maybe comparison of (one of) these with other substances (S and B).

I'm not sure if I'm being stupid here, but I have no idea what "S and B" are. Could you explain please?

As explained in the bracket, S = Structure and B = Bonding. Good Luck !!

It was pretty decent. I made some careless mistakes, but hopefully I can pull off at least 85%. How did you find it?

Yeah how did everyone find it? I found it was WAY EASIER that paper 1 so I'm hoping it will bring my terrible grade from paper 1 up - I hope I got all the stuff right! I ended up finishing 20 minutes earlier so I tried to check it a lot. Did anyone bother balancing the equations? And the methyl orange indicator change was from yellow (alkali) to orange (neutral) right?

Wow dude can't agree more haha! Paper 2 way easier, I found paper 1 hard asf.
I'm pretty sure you had to balance the equations if they needed numbers in front of them, and also I put yellow to orange as well
