Diamond does not conduct electricity because it has no delocalized electron to conduct electricity.
Answer:
B 1.23 g/cc
Explanation:
For something to float on seawater, the density must be less than 1.03 g/mL. If the object sinks, the density is greater than 1.03 g/mL.
Let’s examine the answer choices. Keep in mind, the ice berg is mostly below the water level.
A. 0.88 g/cc
This is less than 1.03 g/cc, which would result in floating.
B. 1.23 g/cc
This is the best answer choice. The iceberg is mostly beneath the water, but some of it is exposed. The density is greater than 1.03 g/mL, but not so much greater that it would immediately sink.
C. 0.23 g/cc
This is less than 1.03 g/cc, which would produce floating.
D. 4.14 g/cc
This is much greater than 1.03 g/cc and the result would be sinking.
Answer:
The u (amu is the old unit name) is 1/12 of the weight of an 12C atom. The way the u is chosen ensures that all core and atom masses are multiples of 1(±0.1) u.
Explanation:
Further explanation if needed...
Carbon 12 was chosen because the chemical atomic weights based on C12 are almost identical to the chemical atomic weights based on the natural mix of oxygen. Simply because the atomic mass is defined as 1/12 of the mass of 12C. Others isotopes of carbon (13C mostly, with an abundance of 1.1% approximately) account for an average atomic mass slightly above 12.
Its strontium and oxygen.
