Write the symbol for every chemical element that has atomic number greater than 55 and less than 140.8 u

Carbon naturally occurs in two forms: diamond and graphite. Why do these two forms have very different properties?

Nookie1986 [14]

The differences in the properties of diamond and graphite is as a result of how their particles are arranged in space. This space arrangement leads to distinct crystal structures for the two compounds. In diamond, the carbon atoms are arranged in tetrahedral shape while in graphite the carbon atoms arrayed in planes.
Hope this helps :)

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In naming an alkane, the first thing we do is to obtain the parent chain by counting the number of carbon atoms in the chain.

When we obtain that, then we identify the substituents and number them in such a way that they have the lowest numbers. The compounds shown have the following names according to the order in which the structures appear in the image attached;

1. 2-methyl propane

2. 2,4-dimethyl heptane

3. 2,2,3,3-tetramethyl butane

4. 5-ethyl-2,4-dimethyl octane
