Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an element exists in two or more different physical forms then they are known as allotropes.

For example, diamond and graphite are both allotropes of carbon.

In graphite, carbon atoms are joined together in sheets of six sided lattice. Whereas in diamond, carbon atoms are joined together in four cornered lattice.

Therefore, as these allotropes are made up of same element so they have similar chemical properties but different physical properties like melting point, boiling point etc.

Also, both of them have different molecular structure.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement the differ in their molecular structure and properties correctly describes diamond and graphite.

Which of the following rules should you follow to balance chemical equations?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

c. add coefficients as needed

Explanation:

A chemical equation is defined as the equation that shows changes in a chemical reaction. A chemical equation consist of reactant and product, reactant is at left side of the arrow and product is at right side of the arrow.

Reactant => Product

While balancing a chemical equation, the basic rule is to balance the coefficient as required. Coefficient represents the number of molecules and is used at front of a chemical symbol. Change in coefficient helps balance the number of atoms or molecules of the substances on both the sides of the arrow.

Subscripts are never allowed to change because it can change the chemical involved in the reaction.

Hence, the correct answer is "c. add coefficients as needed".

Solid silver chloride, AgCI(s), decomposes to its elements when exposed to sunlight Write a balanced equation for this reaction
Mrac [35]

Answer: The coefficient in front of AgCl when the equation is properly balanced is 2.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

Decomposition of silver chloride is represented as:

2AgCl(s)\rightarrow 2Ag(s)+Cl_2(g)

Thus the coefficient in front of AgCl when the equation is properly balanced is 2.
