Each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms. A lot of energy is needed to separate the atoms in diamond. This is because covalent bonds are strong, and diamond contains very many covalent bonds. This makes diamond's melting point and boiling point very high.
The most abundant of all of the isotopes of an element will be the one who's mass the mass of element is closest to. In this case, the mass of atomic carbon is closest to the mass of carbon-12.
Thus, Carbon-12 is the most abundant isotope.
Hey there!!
Biological Oxygen demand is the amount of dissolved oxygen needed by aerobic biological organisms to break down organic material present in a given water sample at certain temperature over a specific time period.
Hope this helped you and have a fantastic day! (:
The number of grams of radon 222 did it have 15.2 ago was 49.6 grams( answer C)
<u>calculation</u>
- calculate the number of half life it has covered from 15.2 days to 3.8 days
that is divide 15.2/ 3.8 = 4 half life
- half life is time taken for a radio activity of a specified isotope to fall to half its original mass
therefore 3.8 days ago it was 3.1 x2 = 6.2 grams
7.6 days ago it was 6.2 x2 = 12.4 grams
11.4 days ago it was 12.4 x2= 24.8 grams
15.2 days ago it was 24.8 x2=49.6 grams
