Why diamond has a very high melting point than aluminium??

1 answer:

8 0

Each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms. A lot of energy is needed to separate the atoms in diamond. This is because covalent bonds are strong, and diamond contains very many covalent bonds. This makes diamond's melting point and boiling point very high.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

General formulas used in decay:

$\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{t/t\frac{1}{2} }}}$

T = duration of decay

t 1/2 = half-life

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time

No=8 mg

t1/2=60 s

T=3 min=180 s

$\tt Nt=No\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/t1/2}\\\\Nt=8.5\dfrac{1}{2}^{180/60}\\\\Nt=8.5(\dfrac{1}{2})^3\\\\Nt=1.0625~mg$

There are two physical properties of minerals that both result in smooth, flat surfaces with specific angles between them. The f

stich3 [128]

Answer:

3. crystal habit and cleavage.

Explanation:

Crystal habit is a distinctive characteristic which is shown in its general shape, crystallographic forms, how developed each form is.

Cleavage is the ability of a mineral to break in smooth planes parallel to zones of weak bonding. Cleavage in three directions at right angles (90o). Cubic cleavage. Cleavage in three directions not at right angles (120o and 60o).

Calculate the volume of the gas when the pressure of the gas is 1.60 atm at a temperature of 298 K. There are 160. mol of gas in

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

2445 L

Explanation:

Given:

Pressure = 1.60 atm

Temperature = 298 K

Volume = ?

n = 160 mol

Using ideal gas equation as:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature

R is Gas constant having value = 08206 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

1.60 atm × V = 160 mol × 0.08206 L.atm/K.mol × 298 K

Answer to four significant digits, Volume = 2445 L
