I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. The Greeks were the first to use the term atom. In 450 BCE, Democritus coined the term átomos which means "uncuttable" or "the smallest indivisible particle of matter".

Answer:

Atom

Explanation:

The Greeks first used the word "atomos" or atom.

There was a philosopher by the name of Leucippus of Miletus, and he had the idea that if you cut an object in half, and then in half again, and in half again, and so on... eventually you would get to a particle that cannot be cut in half (they were talking about the atom, however we now know that splitting an atom releases large amounts of radiation). The word atomos in Greek means "uncuttable".

Why do graphite and diamond appear to be different substances if they are composed of the same atom?

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Diamond and graphite are allotropes of carbon.

Explanation:

Diamond has a close packed crystal structure which is responsible for its extreme hardness. In it, each carbon atom is sp³ hybridised and bonded to four other carbon atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement. Diamond has a hardness of 10 on mohs scale with a cubic crystal form.

Note: allotropes of an element have different molecular structure.

Graphite on the other hand is made up of layers of hexagonal structure that are weakly bonded by van-der-waals forces. This layered arrangement explains its softness/slippery feeling and hence it is used as a lubricant. In each layer, each carbon atom is sp² hybridised and bonded to three other carbon atoms in a trigonal planar arrangement.

The presence of $\pi$ electrons in the layers accounts for its ability to conduct electricity.

Can someone please help me !

This demonstration is most likely trying to show you potential energy. The rock is heavier than the pebble and will therefore displace more sand upon impact showing that the rock stores more potential energy than the pebble does when they are elevated to the same height (in this case the height is the height of the table).
This makes sense since potential energy is equal to mass times the acceleration due to gravity times height (PE=mgh) and the only thing that is changing is the mass of the object being suspended which means that the heavier object (the rock) will have more potential energy.

I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
