By the way it's not mol, it's mole.
The mole is the unit of amount in chemistry.  It provides a bridge between the atom and the macroscopic amounts of material that we work with in the laboratory.  It allows the chemist to weigh out amounts of two substances, say iron and sulfur, such that equal numbers of atoms of iron and sulfur are obtained.  A mole of a substance is defined as:<span>The mass of substance containing the same number of fundamental units as there are atoms in exactly 12.000 g of 12C.</span>

Carbon naturally occurs in two forms: diamond and graphite. Why do these two forms have very different properties?
Nookie1986 [14]
The differences in the properties of diamond and graphite is as a result of how their particles are arranged in space. This space arrangement leads to distinct crystal structures for the two compounds. In diamond, the carbon atoms are arranged in tetrahedral shape while in graphite the carbon atoms arrayed in planes.
 Hope this helps :)

28. Which statement is INCORRECT regarding radiation?
mash [69]

Answer:

Radiation is energy. It can come from unstable atoms that undergo radioactive decay, or it can be produced by machines. Radiation travels from its source in the form of energy waves or energized particles. There are different forms of radiation and they have different properties and effects.

Non-Ionizing and Ionizing Radiation

There are two kinds of radiation: non-ionizing radiation and ionizing radiation.

Non-ionizing radiation has enough energy to move atoms in a molecule around or cause them to vibrate, but not enough to remove electrons from atoms. Examples of this kind of radiation are radio waves, visible light and microwaves.

Ionizing radiation has so much energy it can knock electrons out of atoms, a process known as ionization. Ionizing radiation can affect the atoms in living things, so it poses a health risk by damaging tissue and DNA in genes. Ionizing radiation comes from x-ray machines, cosmic particles from outer space and radioactive elements. Radioactive elements emit ionizing radiation as their atoms undergo radioactive decay.

The ionizing radiation that is emitted can include alpha particles, beta particles and/or gamma raysHelpgamma raysA form of ionizing radiation that is made up of weightless packets of energy called photons. Gamma rays can pass completely through the human body; as they pass through, they can cause damage to tissue and DNA.. Radioactive decay occurs in unstable atoms called radionuclides.

815 yd to km (need 3 sig fig)
SpyIntel [72]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is 0.745 km

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

A numerical value of 815 yards

To convert this into kilometers, we use the conversion factor:

1 km = 1093.6 yards

Converting the given value into kilometers, we get:

\Rightarrow 815yd\times \frac{1km}{1093.6yd}=0.745km

Hence, the correct answer is 0.745 km
