Each substance has a unique set of properties that depends on the kinds of atoms it has and how the atoms are connected, or bond

ed. Bonding is related to the electrons in an atom, and there are different kinds of bonds. As a result, some substances can have the same atoms but different bonds. Substances that are different but have the same atoms are called allotropes. Allotropes have very different properties. Diamond and graphite are well-known allotropes. Graphite is used in pencils for writing and is sometimes called lead. Diamond is colorless and transparent, and is one of the hardest substances known. Graphite is dark gray and soft. When we write, layers of graphite easily transfer from the pencil to the paper. Although they’re different, diamond and graphite each only contain one kind of atom—carbon. How do you think the bonds between carbon atoms might be different in diamond and graphite? Use household materials to build physical models to help you develop your ideas. Describe what you learned from your models. What other kinds of allotropes are there? What kinds of properties and atomic bonds do they have? Explian.

Both diamond and graphite are allotropes of carbon. Diamond has a high tensile strength but graphite does not.

<h3>What is a molecular model?</h3>

A molecular model is used to describe the actual behavior of a chemical compound based on the kind of bonds that exists in the molecule. Now we are talking about diamond and graphite.

Graphite is composed of hexagonal rings of carbon atoms that form layers that are held together by weak Van Der Walls forces hence they can slide over each other. This is the reason why graphite does not have a high tensile strength.

On the other hand, diamond is made up of octagonal rings of carbon atoms which are rigid and form a strong covalent network solid that explains why graphite has a high tensile strength.

HELPP ME PLEASE!! What would be the density of a 40 g object that displaces 10 ml of water?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 4.0 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass = 40 g

volume = 10 mL

The density of the object is

density =  \frac{40}{10}  = 4 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>4.0 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

When a mixture of 12.0 g of acetylene (c2h2 and 12.0 g of oxygen (o2 is ignited, the resultant combustion reaction produces co2
valina [46]
The product of the complete combustion of any fuel (in this case, acetylene) are indeed water and carbon dioxide. 
Balancing the combustion reaction,
                           C2H2 +(5/2) O2 --> 2CO2 + H2O
The number of moles of C2H2 will be,
                        (12 g) x (1 mole/26 g) = 6/13 mole
Then, the number of moles of O2 is,
                         (12 g) x (1 mole/32 g) = 3/8 mole
Therefore the limiting reaction is the O2. Getting the amount of CO2 and H2O produced from balancing,
             CO2 = (3/8 moles) x (2 moles CO2/ 5/2 mole O2)(44 g/ 1 mole) = 52.8 g
             H2O = (3/8 moles) x (1 mole / 5/2 mole O2)(18 g / 1 mole) = 2.7 g

What is the Environmental Lapse Rate?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

The rate at which the air temperature changes with height in the atmosphere surrounding a cloud or a rising parcel of air. The overall average rate is a decrease of about 6.5°C/km, but the rate varies greatly in different regions of the world, in different airstreams, and at different seasons of the year.
