Graphite conducts electricity but dimond does not .why?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
timofeeve [1]3 years ago
6 0

Graphite can conduct electricity because of the delocalised (free) electrons in its structure. These arise because each carbon atom is only bonded to 3 other carbon atoms. ... However, in diamond, all 4 outer electrons on each carbon atom are used in covalent bonding, so there are no delocalised electrons.

Why is it not possible to just consume only pure ATP and thus eliminate some steps in
xeze [42]

Our digestive has the steps of digestion and absorption associated with it. So all the compounds taken in as food are first broken down into simpler components before absorption.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate is a compound containing a molecule of adenine as nitrogen base, a ribose sugar and three molecules of phosphate attached with the adenine in a chain. Its unable to get absorbed into the system as ATP itself. In intestine, it will be broken down into Adenine, ribose, and phosphates and then absorbed individually into blood.

Thus even if we consume raw ATP, we can't bypass the process of ATP formation. So, there's no significance. And secondly, ATP is very expensive and not suitable for consumption itself.

#1: What is the charge on an electrically neutral atom of hydrogen?
MakcuM [25]
<span>my answer is B.The electrical charge of the hydrogen atom is thought to be exactly zero. This is a consequence of the apparent equality of the magnitude of the electrical charges of the electron and the proton, and their opposite sign. The electrical charge of neutral atoms has been measured to be zero, with an uncertainty of something like 10^(-20) e, where e is the elementary charge.</span>

Fluorine-18 is produced by reacting oxygen-18 with a proton, 11p. The products of this reaction are fluorine-18, a neutron, and
Tanya [424]

₈O¹⁸ + ₁¹H(proton) ⇒ ₉F¹⁸ + ₀n¹(neutron) + ₀γ⁰ (gamma)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Fluorine-18

Oxygen-18

Required

Nuclear equation

Solution

Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,  

  • alpha α particles ₂He⁴
  • beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
  • gamma particles ₀γ⁰
  • positron particles ₁e⁰
  • neutron ₀n¹

The principle used is the sum of the atomic number and mass number before and after the decay reaction is the same

The reaction

₈O¹⁸ + ₁¹H(proton) ⇒ ₉F¹⁸ + ₀n¹(neutron) + ₀γ⁰ (gamma)
