It depends on the form it takes and how its formed. If raw carbon is in extreme pressure it can make a diamond. Graphite, however is made in a different way.

Consider the following properties: I) The red color of rubies is due to the presence of chromium ions. II) Objects made of silve
quester [9]

Answer:

II) Objects made of silver become tarnished.

Explanation:

Physical properties are the properties which can be observed without changing identity of substance.

Chemical properties are the properties which describe how the substance changes into the different substance completely.

Boiling is an example of physical change in state of the substance. Color is also an example of physical property like boiling point and hence these are constants. The reason of the color is that the chromium ions shows certain colors as the electrons are excited due to absorption of the light. The tarnishing of the silver is an example of the chemical change which occurs due to the reaction of the silver with oxygen. This is also known as corrosion.

Which type of radioactive particle was emitted by the following isotopes?
Paul [167]

Radioactive decay or disintegration is a process through which unstable nuclei form q more stable nuclei by the release of elementary particles like alpha particles, beta, protons, neutrons etc along with the release of energy.

In the given examples:

a) N-13 will get converted in to carbon, C-12 along with the release of a proton as shown below:

₇N¹³ →  ₆C¹²  +  ₁H¹

b) N-15 will get converted in to boron B-11 along with the release of an alpha particle

₇N¹⁵  →  ₅B¹¹  +  ₂He⁴

Sort the phrases about the mesosphere and the thermosphere into the correct categories.
kiruha [24]

Explanation:

Before proceeding, let's understand what thermosphere and mesosphere are;

The mesosphere is the third layer of the atmosphere, directly above the stratosphere and directly below the thermosphere.

The thermosphere is the layer in the Earth's atmosphere directly above the mesosphere and below the exosphere.

The meteors make it through the exosphere and thermosphere without much trouble because those layers don't have much air. But when they hit the mesosphere, there are enough gases to cause friction and create heat.

Temperatures in the mesosphere decrease with altitude. Because there are few gas molecules in the mesosphere to absorb the Sun's radiation, the

heat source is the stratosphere below. The mesosphere is extremely cold.

Satellites and the International Space Station orbit the Earth within the thermosphere.

Mesosphere;

- is directly above the stratosphere

- acts as a barrier to meteoroids

- is very cold

Thermosphere;

- reaches out into space

- is where satellites travel
