Carbon is special and unique because it is able to form different compounds with a lot of elements, including itself. When it bonds with itself, this is possible because of the concept of hybridization. It is the mixing of atomic orbitals into a new hybrid orbital. In this case, methane is formed through the sp³ hybridization.
Solid, ductile (can conduct heat), malleable (can be shaped differently).
Substance A is Chlorophyll and substance B is Oxygen
Quartz has the formula SiO2
From the periodic table:
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
mass of silicon = 28.0855 grams
Mass of one mole of quarts = 28.0855 + 2(16) = 60.0855 grams
number of moles = mass / molar mass
number of moles = 1.6 / 60.0855 = 0.0266 moles
Each mole of quartz contains Avogadro's number of atoms.
Therefore:
number of atoms in 1.6 g = 1.6 x 6.02 x 10^23 = 1.603 x 10^22 atoms
