The differences in the properties of diamond and graphite is as a result of how their particles are arranged in space. This space arrangement leads to distinct crystal structures for the two compounds. In diamond, the carbon atoms are arranged in tetrahedral shape while in graphite the carbon atoms arrayed in planes.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
The answer to your question is Argon
Explanation:
Electron configuration given 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶
To find the element whose electron configuration is given, we can do it by two methods.
Number 1. Sum all the exponents the result will give you the atomic number of the element.
2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 6 = 18
The element with an atomic number of 18 is Argon.
Number 2. Look at the last terms of the electronic configuration
3s² 3p⁶
Number three indicates that this element is in the third period in the periodic table.
Sum the exponents 2 + 6 = 8
Number 8 indicates that this element is the number 8 of that period without considering the transition elements.
The element with these characteristics is Argon.
Explanation:
<h3>Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces to shrink into the minimum surface area possible. Surface tension allows insects, usually denser than water, to float and slide on a water surface.</h3>
An earthquake happens when tectonic plates move against each other. A oceanic and a continental tectonic plates might move against each other. When that happens water is pushed upwards and it creates ripples that then move towards land. It's like throwing a rock in water but a lot bigger. I can't post external links on Brainly but you can find more information about tsunami's on Google
Molecules is the answer i believe
