Answer:

lowest to Highest

Carbon atom

Methane molecule (CH4)

Graphite

Diamond

Explanation:

A carbon atom would be the lowest complexity on this list, that is because it is a lone molecule with no other bonding between other atoms. The same forces interacting between the carbon atom would be the same for the others.

Next would be methane. Methane is a hydrocarbon composed of a single carbon atom bonded covalently with four hydrogens. The electrons within the hydrogen atoms repel each other causing them to be dispersed around the carbon atom to form a tetrahedral shape. While more complex, the other two are continuous structures made from carbon atoms bonded to gather to form crystal structures.

Graphite is considered to be a crystal structure, just like a diamond. However, the biggest difference between them is their atomic and crystal frameworks. Diamonds have a rigid 3-dimensional structure whilst graphite is composed of 2d planes of graphite with carbon-carbon double bonds connecting the layers. Due to this, a diamond would be more complex then grpahite

What is the speed of a man that travels 2 meters in 6.5 seconds?

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

0.305556 m / s

Explanation:

Speed = distance / time

2 metres = 0.002 km

6.5 sec = 0.00180556 hrs

Therefore,

Speed = 0.002 / 0.00180556

= 1.1 km / hr

= <u>0.305556 m / s</u>

How many liters of the antifreeze ethylene glycol [CH2(OH)CH2(OH)] would you add to a car radiator containing 6.50 L of water if

sergeinik [125]

<span>16 = m x 1.86
m = 8.60 = moles solute / 6.50 Kg

moles solute = 55.9

mass solute = 55.9 x 62.068 g/mol=3470 g

V = 3479/ 1.11 =3126 mL= 3.13 L

delta T = 8.60 x 0.512 =4.40
boling point = 104.4 °C

Hope this helps.</span>

Treatment of an alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone with basic aqueous hydrogen peroxide yields an epoxy ketone. the reaction is speci

Misha Larkins [42]

The reaction mechanism for an alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone to react with basic peroxide to form an epoxide is shown below with a general ketone. The basic hydroxide is used to deprotonate the peroxide molecule to create a strong HOO- nucleophile. The peroxide then attacks the beta-carbon of the alkene and this pushes the electrons up to the oxygen of the carbonyl. This is the first intermediate that is formed during this reaction.

After the intermediate is formed, the lone pair from the oxygen pushes back down to form the carbonyl once more and this breaks a carbon-carbon bond which attacks the oxygen of the peroxy group, ultimately substituting an -OH group and forming the final epoxide ketone product.
