arbon, as with many elements, can arrange its atoms into several different geometries, or "allotropes." In pure diamond, every carbon atom is covalently bonded to exactly 4 other carbon atoms in a very specific and energetically favorable geometry. The diamond cannot be broken or scratched unless many covalent bonds are broken, which is difficult to do. In another common allotrope, graphite, every carbon atom is covalently bonded to only 3 other carbon atoms, and the atoms are arranged in sheets that are not covalently bonded to each other. The sheets can be broken apart easily, ultimately meaning that graphite can be easily scratched. Coal is composed of particles of different allotropes of carbon, and some "amorphous carbon," which has no defined geometry in its atomic structure. Without a continuous network of covalent bonds, coal is easily scratched (i.e. it is not hard).

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Agglutination or clumping occurs when blood that contains the particular antigen is mixed with the particular antibody.

Explanation:

Clumping of blood types takes place thus;

A+ - Agglutination with Anti-A and Anti-Rh. No agglutination with Anti-B.

A- - Agglutination with Anti-A. No agglutination with Anti-B and Anti-Rh.

B+ - Agglutination with Anti-B and Anti-Rh. No agglutination with Anti-A.

B- - Agglutination with Anti-B. No agglutination with Anti-B and Anti-Rh.

AB+ - Agglutination with Anti-A, Anti-B and Anti-Rh.

AB- - Agglutination with Anti-A and Anti-B. No agglutination with Anti-Rh.

O+ - Agglutination with Anti-Rh. No agglutination with Anti-A and Anti-B.

O- - No agglutination with Anti-A, Anti-B and Anti-Rh.
