How you rank the following items in order of complexity.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Natalija [7]2 years ago
4 0

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

Atoms whose atomic number are the same but whose mass numbers are different are called: alpha particles ions beta particles isot
Kaylis [27]
<h2>Atoms whose atomic number are the same but whose mass numbers are different are called : Isotopes </h2>

Explanation:

Isotopes

They are the   elements with same atomic number but different mass number .

for example : Protium , deuterium and tritium are isotopes of hydrogen .

                    : C-14 and C-12 are isotopes of oxygen .

                     : Cl-35.5 and Cl-37 are isotopes of chlorine

Alpha particles

They are helium nuclei with +2 unit charge and 4 a.m.u mass

They are represented as : He₂⁴.

Ions

The atom carrying charge is called as ion .

It can be of two types : Cation and anion

cation :atom with positive charge

Anion : atom with negative charge

Beta particles

They are actually particles with charge and mass of electron and is represented as :₀ e⁻¹

How does chemistry affect the food you eat
ddd [48]
When stress, toxins or lack of essential nutrients weaken digestion, harder to digest foods like grains and cow dairy, meat and processed foods contribute to maldigestion, dysbiosis and impaired digestive competence.

a culinary student fills a 40ml container with 37.2 grams of vegetable oil.What is the density of the oil
Lynna [10]

Answer:

<h2>0.93 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass = 37.2 g

volume = 40 mL

We have

density =  \frac{37.2}{40}  \\  = 0.93

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.93 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
