Diamonds are composed of carbon in a tetrahedral lattice. That is option C.
<h3>What is a diamond?</h3>
A diamond of defined as an allotrope or one of the major forms of the element, carbon in nature.
These carbon atoms are arranged within the diamond in a face centered cubic tetrahedral lattice shape.
Therefore, Diamonds are composed of carbon in a tetrahedral lattice.

Answer: It loses electrons to another element.
Explanation:- Oxidation is the process in which an element loses electrons and there is an increase in the oxidation state. On losing electrons it combines with a electronegative element such as oxygen, sulphur or nitrogen etc.
Reduction is the process in which an element gains electrons and there is a decrease in the oxidation state.
It is important to have the correct bond angles of the different atoms and the shape of the molecule due to following reasons;
Among other properties the polarity of compounds mainly depend upon the shape and bond angles of that particular compound. For example, considering the molecule of water, we already know that it is a polar molecule with partially positive hydrogen atoms and partially negative oxygen atoms and acts as universal solvent. The bond angle in water is about 104.5° with a Bent geometry. Unlike carbon dioxide (CO₂) which has Linear structure with bond angle 180° and is non-polar in nature therefore, the bent geometry in water is responsible for the polarity.
Other properties which can also be predicted by predicting the bond angles along with molecular geometries are;
i) Magnetism
ii) Phase of matter
iii) Color
iv) Reactivity
v) Biological activities <em>e.t.c</em>
Answer:
2 Na + 1 Cl2 -> 2 NaCl
Explanation:
The answer is really simple, because if you have 1 nonmetal element that has a subscript of 2, you need to multiply the product and the first reactant by 2 to balance it.
Ionic and covalent bonds are both strong intermolecular forces. They are generally both crystalline in structure. But relatively speaking, ionic bonds are much stronger. As a consequence, they have inherent properties of higher boiling points, higher melting points, lower volatility, etc. Also, ionic bonds display conductive properties because they are strong electrolytes. <em>Thus, the answer is 5) higher melting points.</em>
