Explanation:
The electronegativity difference in C-C and C-H atoms is quite low. This means smaller the electron cloud. This further means larger bond length that is electron's are further from the nucleus. hence, higher potential energy of C-C and C-H bonds.
On the contrary, C-O and H-O have large difference in electronegativity( O is high electronegative element) . This means smaller bond length. Electron's near the nucleus. Thus, lower potential energy of bonds.
Answer:
Diamond
Explanation:
Diamond has covalent bonds, which makes it a non-metal.
However, it also has a tetrahedral structure, which holds its C atoms together by strong forces, thus making it hard.
Diamond also has free-moving electrons due to its tetrahedral structure, thus making it possible to conduct electricity.
They move because of convection currents in the mantle
Al(NO3)3(aq) + 3NaOH(s) --> Al(OH)3 (s) + 3NaNO3 (aq)
The precipitate here is Al(OH)3 (s), since the solid reactant is the precipitate in the aqueous solution. Usually, it is okay to assume in basic chemistry that the transition metal is going to be part of the compound that is the precipitate, especially in an acidic salt and a strong base reaction that we have here.
Gain enough kinetic energy to get past each other. Ad you heat up a substance, the temperature increases as does the kinetic energy of the particles. At a point the temperature of the substance will stop increasing. The energy is now being used to increase the potential and move the particles further apart.
