Why does buck ministerfullerene act as a good lubricant

Chemistry
2 answers:
MakcuM [25]3 years ago

Answer:

Its molecules are made up of 60 carbon atoms joined together by strong covalent bonds. Molecules of C 60 are spherical. There are weak intermolecular forces between molecules of buckminsterfullerene. These need little energy to overcome, so buckminsterfullerene is slippery and has a low melting point.

PLS HELP!! it’s science how do waves travel through gas
HACTEHA [7]

By 'waves' do you mean sound waves? If so sound waves need to travel through things like solids, liquids and yup <u>gases. </u>When the waves travel they are vibrating the molecules in the matter. By doing this he molecules in solids are packed very tightly.

Which is the correct name of a compound that is formed by Si and O? silicon dioxide silicon trioxygen disilicon dioxygen monosil
Flauer [41]

The correct is tricky, be careful. The right is silicon dioxyde (SiO2)

Silicon Oxides are written in the form SiOx, (0 <x <2), so:

there is no silicon trioxygen and disilicon dioxygen.

SiO is called silicon monoxide and not monosiicon oxygen, so this proposition is false.

All that remains is the silicon dioxide (SiO2) that is written correctly.

Silicon dioxide can be synthesized but also exists in abundance in nature. Silicon (Si) represents about 26% of the Earth's crust. Silica (SiO2), the natural form of silicon dioxide, accounts for about 60%.

Katen [24]

Antoine Henri Becquerel discovered radioactivity when he was studying

X- rays.  

He had been studying phosphorescent uranium ores and hypothesized that they might absorb sunlight and reemit it as X-rays.

His hypothesis was wrong, but his experiments led to the discovery of <em>natural radioactivity</em>.
