Why is diamond hard​

Chemistry
2 answers:
kobusy [5.1K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: Diamond is hard due to its giant covalent lattice and it has many strong covalent bonds.

Explanation:

fgiga [73]3 years ago

The outermost shell of each carbon atom has four electrons. In diamond, these electrons are shared with four other carbon atoms to form very strong chemical bonds resulting in an extremely rigid tetrahedral crystal. It is this simple, tightly-bonded arrangement that makes diamond one of the hardest substances on Earth.

3- a) write the formula unit of calcium fluoride.
zvonat [6]

Answer:

a) CaF₂.

b) 7.81g of CaF₂ are present.

Explanation:

a) The calcium ion has as charge Ca²⁺ and fluoride ion is F⁻, that means formula unit is:

CaF₂

b) 1 molecule of CaF₂ contains 2 anions, F⁻. Thus, the moles of CaF₂ is:

1.2x10²³ anions * (1 moleculeCaF₂ / 2 anions) = 6x10²² molecules of CaF₂

6.022x10²³ molecules = 1mol:

6x10²² molecules of CaF₂ * (1mol / 6.022x10²³molecules) = 0.10 moles CaF₂.

1 mole of CaF₂ has a mass of 78.07g:

0.10 moles CaF₂ * (78.07g / mol) =

7.81g of CaF₂ are present

Classify the following as acid-Base reactions or oxidation-reduction reactions:
postnew [5]

Explanation:

(a) Na_2S+HCl\rightarrow H_2S+2NaCl

This is acid base reaction because there is no change of oxidation state on either side of the reaction.

(b) 2Na+2HCl\rightarrow H_2+2NaCl

This is a oxidation reduction reaction because sodium in elemental state ( 0 oxidation state) oxidizes to Na⁺ in NaCl. Also H⁺ in HCl reduces to H° in H₂.

(c) Mg+Cl_2\rightarrow MgCl_2

This is a oxidation reduction reaction because magnesium in elemental state ( 0 oxidation state) oxidizes to Mg²⁺ in MgCl₂. Also Cl° in Cl₂ reduces to Cl⁻ in  MgCl₂.

(d) MgO+2HCl\rightarrow H_2O+MgCl_2

This is acid base reaction because there is no change of oxidation state on either side of the reaction.

(e) K_3P+2O_2\rightarrow K_3PO_4

This is a oxidation reduction reaction because phosphorous in P³⁻ in K₃P oxidizes to P⁵⁺ in K₃PO₄ and oxygen reduces.

(f) 3KOH+H_3PO_4\rightarrow K_3PO_4 + 3H_2O

This is acid base reaction because there is no change of oxidation state on either side of the reaction.
