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.

Why is buckminsterfullerene an allotrope of carbon
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Buckminsterfullerence is called an allotrope of carbon because it was discovered during an experiment involving a cluster of beam which uses laser to vapourise  a graphite rod in a helium atmosphere to produce carbon plasmas.a mass sectrometry evidence from the experiment showed that carbon molecules with C60 were forming with a spheroidal geometry.so therefore it was included as an allotrope of carbon.

What is the mass in grams of a pure iron cube that has a volume of 4.60 cm3
yuradex [85]
In order to determine the mass of a substance given the volume, we require the density. The density of iron is 7.87 grams/cm³

Now,

Density = mass / volume

Mass = density * volume

Mass = 7.87 * 4.6

36.2 grams of iron are present in the cube
