Actually, there are four kinds of reptile motion:
Concertina - vermiform. Circular muscles around the snake squeeze the front of the snake's body out long, then the latter half is pulled forward.
Rectilinear crawling - Belly scutes are moved forward individually in a wave-like motion.
Side-winding - Snake's version of "walking". Use by several species to move over fluidic substrates, such as sand.
Lateral undulation - Most common form of movement. Snake presses on alternating pressure points to force body forward (or backward)

V = 60.0 g/ 0.70 g/mL = 85.7 mL Hope this helps! ;D
Concentration is the number of moles of solute in a fixed volume of solution
Concentration(c) = number of moles of solute(n) / volume of solution (v)
25.0 mL of water is added to 125 mL of a 0.150 M LiOH solution and solution becomes more diluted.
original solution molarity - 0.150 M
number of moles of LiOH in 1 L - 0.150 mol
number of LiOH moles in 0.125 L - 0.150 mol/ L x 0.125 L = 0.01875 mol
when 25.0 mL is added the number of moles of LiOH will remain constant but volume of the solution increases
new volume - 125 mL + 25 mL = 150 mL
therefore new molarity is
c = 0.01875 mol / 0.150 L = 0.125 M
answer is 0.125 M
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.
