The fact that the layers of graphite are held together by only weak Van der Walls forces implies that they can slide over each other.

<h3>Why is graphite a solid lubricant?</h3>

We know that graphite is composed of layers. These hexagonal layers are held together by weak Van Der Walls forces and as such are able to slide over each other. The carbon atom in each layer are held together by strong covalent bonds.

The fact that the layers of graphite are held together by only weak Van der Walls forces implies that they can slide over each other and as such make the graphite fluid.

Thus, the image that shows these layers of graphite is attached to this an answer

Which group number below represents the Oxygen Group?

worty [1.4K]

Oxygen has an atomic number 8, because it has 8 protons and 8 electrons.

The first shell of an atom can hold up to 2 electrons but oxygen has 8 electrons, in that eight electrons 2 are in the first shell, so it has 6 more electrons left. The second shell can hold up to 8 electrons, oxygen has only 6 more electrons after the first shell is full, so it will have 6 electrons in the second shell

From this we know that oxygen has 2 shells so it is in period 2, and by counting from left to right, the sixth box in period 2 lies on group 16

Therefore Oxygen lies on group 16 and period 2
