arbon, as with many elements, can arrange its atoms into several different geometries, or "allotropes." In pure diamond, every carbon atom is covalently bonded to exactly 4 other carbon atoms in a very specific and energetically favorable geometry. The diamond cannot be broken or scratched unless many covalent bonds are broken, which is difficult to do. In another common allotrope, graphite, every carbon atom is covalently bonded to only 3 other carbon atoms, and the atoms are arranged in sheets that are not covalently bonded to each other. The sheets can be broken apart easily, ultimately meaning that graphite can be easily scratched. Coal is composed of particles of different allotropes of carbon, and some "amorphous carbon," which has no defined geometry in its atomic structure. Without a continuous network of covalent bonds, coal is easily scratched (i.e. it is not hard).
Answer: B. Combustion
Lavoisier’s oxygen theory of combustion was one of his most
notable contribution to science and earned him the title of the “father of
modern chemistry”. He recognized the combustible property of oxygen and that phosphorus and other metallic elements increased in terms of weight when burned.
I believe it would be (B) Mimicry
Answer:
Any factor in the environment that does not depend on the number of members in a population.
Explanation:
Density independent limiting factors also cause population sizes to increase. For example, the water from a flash flood increases the growth of vegetation, thereby providing more food for primary consumers in the ecosystem.
Answer:
That'll be a "Long term change".
Goodluck with your test! :)
