Answer:

Graphite and Diamond are different because they have different structures. ... However each carbon atom in Diamond has 4 covalent bonds with other Carbons, making it extremely strong and hard. On the other hand, each carbon in graphite is bonded to three carbons, and therefore graphite is formed in layer

Also:

Each carbon atom in a diamond is linked to four other carbon atoms. Each carbon atom in graphite is linked to three other carbon atoms. Diamond is poor conductor of electricity due to the absence of free electrons. Graphite is good conductor of electricity due to the presence of free electrons in its structure.

How does an atom become a positively charged ion

sladkih [1.3K]

When, it donates electons.

as for example take
NaCl ( sodium chloride)

it's an ionic compund,
that means it is formed by donating or gaining electrons

Na is writen first than, it must be electropositive i.e it has donated electons which made it positive and the clorine gains electron so it's electronegative.

Na is positive because
as we know it's atomic number is 11 that means it has 11 protons and 11 electrons
now, when it donate electon it has, greater number of protons whose change is +ve so the atom becomes overall positively charged ion or cation.

and something same happens in clorine and because it gains one electron and the number of electrons increase in it by 1 whise charge is -ve so, the atom becomes negatively charged ion or anion which has a -1 charge.

Draw the products of the complete hydrolysis of an acetal. Draw all products of the reaction.

jolli1 [7]

Answer: the product is ketone or aldehyde

Explanation:

The first step is the conversion of acetal to hemiacetal in the presence of H3O+/ ROH, and then the final conversion of hemiacetal to ketone/aldehyde using

H3O+/ ROH...

Suppose a mercury thermometer contains 3.250g of mercury and has a capillary that is 0.180mm in diameter.. How far does the merc

Helga [31]

1) You need to get volume of both temperatures by using first attached formula V= Mass/Density $V_1 = (3.250 g)/(13.596 g/(cm^3)) = .2390 cm^3
At 25 degrees C (V_2e have:

V_2 = (3.250 g)/(13.534 g/(cm^3)) = .2401 cm^3$

2) Using the second formula you get the height of 0 degree
$h = V/(pi * r^2)


h_1 =(.2390 cm^3)/(pi*(.009 cm)^2) = 939.2 cm$

(radius in cm is $(0.180 mm) / 2 * (1 cm)/(10 mm) or .009 cm$

3) Then with h1 you can easily get the height of 25 degrees
$h_2 =(.2401 cm^3)/(pi*(.009 cm)^2) = 943.5 cm$

Subtract 943.5 cm - 939.2 cm, and obtain a rise in mercury height of 4.3 cm
