Why is diamond said to be hard

Chemistry
2 answers:
VARVARA [1.3K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Diamond is said to be the hardest element because it is unbreakable by humans. These diamonds are mined, and they are very hard. A miner knows when they have found diamond when they feel something super hard.

Hope this helps you!

To understand what makes a material hard, it is necessary to look at the atomic structure of its crystals. ... In diamonds, however, the carbon atoms are bound together in a tetrahedral formation, a shape that is extremely rigid. Combined with the strong carbon to carbon bonds, it makes diamond extremely hard

Hope this helps

How waves affect matter at the macroscopic and particle levels.
Rus_ich [418]
In a macroscopic object, each particles wave is being absorbed and combined with the waves of the other particles to create one wave for the entire object. Since this object is able to be seen, the wave function immediately collapses.

Anytime you possess anykind of information about the world around us, some wave, somewhere function collapses.

In short, if we can see the object, then it has no wave function.

A 50.0g g sample of 16n decays to 12.5g in 14.4 seconds. What is its half life
mixas84 [53]
T is amount after time t 
<span>Ao is initial amount </span>
<span>t is time </span>
<span>HL is half life </span>

<span>log (At) = log [ Ao x (1/2)^(t/HL) ] </span>
<span>log (At) = log Ao + log (1/2)^(t/HL) </span>
<span>log (At) = log Ao + (t/HL) x log (1/2) </span>

<span>( log At - log Ao) / log (1/2) = t / HL </span>
<span>log (At/Ao) / log (1/2) = t / HL </span>

<span>HL = t / [( log (At / Ao)) / log (1/2) ] </span>

<span>HL = 14.4 s / [ ( log (12.5 / 50) / log (1/2) ] </span>

<span>HL = 14.4 s / 2 = 7.2 seconds </span>

Rank the following elements by increasing atomic radius: carbon, aluminum, oxygen, potassium. Rank the following elements by inc
Lapatulllka [165]
The trend of atomic radius in the periodic table is increasing from right to left and from top to bottom. In reference to the table, oxygen has smaller radius compared to carbon, which is smaller than aluminum and which is also smaller than potassium. Thus, the trend from smallest to biggest is oxygen carbon, aluminum and potassium.
