Each carbon atom is only bonded to 3 other carbons leaving one free delocalised electron to carry charge. Diamond however has carbons which are bonded to four other carbons therefore has no free electrons to move and carry charge hence not conducting electricity.

Why ozone is important to organic chemistry​
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Ozone is good in the stratosphere because it absorbs all of the most energetic ultraviolet radiation (UV-C), most of the UV-B radiation and some of the least energetic UV radiation (UV-A). Ozone is “bad” in the troposphere because it is harmful to breathe and is the primary component of smog in summer.

Which member of each pair is more soluble in diethyl ether? Why?<br> (c) MgBr₂(s) or CH₃CH₂MgBr(s)
White raven [17]

CH3CH2MgBr is more soluble in diethyl ether .

We know that polar solvent dissolve in polar solvent very perfectly . as diethyl ether is a polar solvent so it have dipole -dipole interaction .

Hence the compound with similar interaction can dissolve in diethyl  ether .

Here , MgBr2  is an ionic compound . there is ion-ion interactions occurs which is not similar to dipole -dipole interaction in diethyl ether .hence the solubility of MgBr2 in diethyl ether is less .

but in case of CH3CH2MgBr there are both polar and nonpolar end .CH3CH2 is the nonpolar end and MgBr is the polar end .

thus with the nonpolar end solute interact using depression forces and with polar end solute interact using dipole-dipole interaction . so CH3CH2MgBr is more soluble .

If an isotope of an element has 40 neutrons and a mass number of 79, how many electrons must it have?
34kurt

Answer: 39 electrons

Explanation: Subtract 79 by 40 to get the atomic number (amount of protons) which is 39. The number of electrons must be the same as the number of protons if it's not an ionic compound so the amount of electrons is the same amount of protons.
