Graphene burns just like any other carbon. So do diamonds, charcoal, and coal. They do exhibit different properties in these crystal forms, obviously. (Charcoal and coal being amorphous.)

I'm a science-minded fellow myself. I understand different molecular weights for a given element. I understand covalent and ionic bonding.

I just didn't know that people referred to graphene with the crystal lattice doped with oxygen as "graphene oxide". Silicon in semiconductors is not called anything goofy when doped with germanium or other elements to form the semiconductor.

Fair enough; I’ll tone down the rhetoric.

(belated apoligies, I’ve had enough out-and-out trolls on COVID threads lately that I’ve started to engage my “R2D2 CIWS anti-troll rhetoric” on first detection, not on threat confirmation.)
