<span>Answer: The particles of the substace move away from each other and slip breaking the crystalline structure.
</span>
<span /><span /><span>
Explanation:
</span><span />

<span>Melting is the change of phase from solid to liquid.
</span><span />

<span>Melting is the result of adding heat to the solid.
</span><span />

<span>The particles in a solid are arranged in fixed structures, called lattices, in which the partilces are packed closed together to each other, and so they cannot move one respect to others.
</span><span />

<span>At the melting point, as heated is added, the partilcles vibrate and move more rapidly, gaining kinetic energy.

</span><span>The kinetic energy gained by the heat transferred is not used to increase the temperature but to increase the speed of the particles which finally manage to slip out of the fixed structure and so become liquid.</span>

<span>When a substance is heated, its atoms gain energy and begin to vibrate rapidly within the lattice of the substance (the substance expands). As more heating continues, the atoms gain even more energy and move more rapidly until they are able to overcome the force of the bonds, that hold the atoms together in the lattice, until the structure is disrupted.  </span>

For the following formula, C4H9Cl, calculate the IHD and select all the types of unsaturation that might be present in the molec
Airida [17]

Answer:

The IHD = 0

There is no unsaturation in the compound C4H9Cl

Explanation:

IHD = Index for Hydrogen Deficiency .It determines total number of unsaturation or Pi- bond present in the molecule.It is calculated using the formula:

For Molecule:

C_{c}H_{h}O_{o}N_{n}X_{x}

Here . C = carbon

H = Hydrogen

O = Oxygen

N = Nitrogen

X = Halogen

The IHD is calculated as :

\frac{2c-h-x+n+2}{2}...............(1)

For example :

C4H8O2

Here c = 4 , h = 8 , o = 2 .

n = x=0

Put the value in equation (1) and find IHD

\frac{2(4)-8-0+0+2}{2}

\frac{8-8+2}{2}

\frac{2}{2}

IHD = 1

For C4H9Cl

c = 4 , h = 9 and  x = 1

IHD for this molecule can be calculated as :

\frac{2c-h-x+n+2}{2}

\frac{2(4)-9-1+2}{2}

\frac{8-9-1+2}{2}

= 0

This means there is no unsaturation in the molecule.

Each bond is sigma bond and properly saturated.

Ray Of Light [21]
Answer: 2.60 x 10^23 molecules


50.0 grams x (1 mol/115.79 grams) = 0.431816219 moles

0.431816219 mol x (6.02 x 10^23 molecules/1 mol) = 2.599533638 x 10^23 molecules (final answer is rounded)

C (graphite) is used as a lubricant, whereas C (diamond) is used as an abrasive. Why is this?
zysi [14]

Answer:

Carbon atoms in graphite and diamond are arranged in different ways. Hence, the two allotropes of carbon have different physical properties.

Explanation:

Both graphite and diamond are both made of only carbon atoms. However, their physical properties differ from each other. Hence, they are called allotropes. Think about how these carbon atoms are arranged in each of the allotropes.

<h3>Graphite</h3>

In graphite, each carbon atom is bonded to three other carbon atoms. These carbon atoms will be located in the same plane. A chunk of graphite can contain many of these planes.

Each carbon atom has four valence electrons. Three of these electrons will be used in the bonds. The other electron will be delocalized. These electrons would flow between the sheets of carbon atoms. That keeps the sheets separate and allow them to slide on top of each other.

<h3>Diamond</h3>

In diamond, each carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon atoms. These carbon atoms will form a tetrahedral network.  

In graphite, there's a significant separation between two adjacent sheets of carbon atoms. The force between the two sheets is rather weak. When a piece of graphite is between two objects that move over one another, the layers in the graphite would also slide over one another. Since the attraction between two adjacent sheets isn't very strong, there wouldn't be much resistance. Hence the graphite acts as a lubricant.  

In contrast, most of the carbon atoms in a piece of diamond would be connected to each other. Unlike the sheets in graphite, in a diamond there are almost no moving parts. Also, the forces between neighboring carbon atoms are very strong. When an external force acts on a chunk of diamond, the carbon atoms would barely move. Hence, the structure appears to be very rigid. That gives diamond its abrasive properties.
