How are lead and plastic foam different?

Chemistry

Lead refers to a chemical element with atomic number 82. It is a heavy metal, which is denser in comparison to the majority of the common substances. It is malleable and soft and also exhibits a comparatively low melting point. On the other hand, a plastic foam refers to a lightweight cellular form, used mainly as packing material or for insulation.  

Lead is more resistant and heavier, while plastic foam is light and can easily be shattered. They both are completely distinct components with each possessing specific characteristics, and they both exhibit distinct textures. The main reason for their distinct characteristics is the difference in the atoms taking part in their compositions.

First and foremost, they are completely different substances with each exhibiting unique properties. Both have different atoms involved on their structures which is the cause of the differing properties.

Explain the relationship between the mole, particles, grams, and Liters.
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:A mole is an arbitrary number of molecules in a single unit - refer to avogadro's number. Essentially, 1 mole is 6.022x10^23 molecules for ALL molecules or atoms, however one must remember that not all atoms/molecules are the same size, this is where mass comes into play. When you measure out 2 grams of carbon powder, there will be a lot more molecules present than if you weighed out 2 grams of thorium powder; this is because carbon is much smaller - kind of like a car filled with clowns, one given car can hold a lot of small clowns but only a few big ones; so the same volume is occupied but the amount of substance (clowns) varies on their own size. The arbitrary mass (relative to the hydrogen atom) for a molecule is the sum of its atomic components' atomic masses; e. g. C2H6's will have 2x12.00 (carbon) + 6x1.01 (hydrogen) = ~30 grams / mole.

Does carbon ever leave the EARTH? Explain.
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Carbon is also found in the atmosphere where it's a part of carbon dioxide gas emitted when fossil fuels are burned and when living organisms breathe. It's in organic matter in the soil, and it's in rocks. But far and away the most carbon on Earth is stored in a surprising place: the ocean.
