<h2>How Diamond and Graphite are chemically identical?</h2>

On heating diamond or graphite in the air, they burn completely to form carbon dioxide.
- Equal quantities of diamond and graphite when burned, produce exactly the same amount of carbon dioxide.

<h2>Why the physical properties of diamond and graphite are so different?</h2>

Due to the difference in the arrangement of carbon atoms in diamond and graphite

Sulfur oxides Carbon monoxides Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)Nitrates are responsible for the hole in the ozone layer.

svp [43]

The best answer for the question above would be the chloroflourocarbons or the CFCs. These chloroflourocarbons or CFCs are the ones responsible for the depletion of the ozone - which leads to leaving a hole in its layer. These gases eat out the ozone layer and allows harmful UV rays of the sun to come in the Earth.

which nonmetals could form an ionic compound with the formula MgX^2 ( where X represents the nonmetal)? (possible, not possible)

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

Ionic compound is formed when a metal and a nonmetal are attached.

If we have MgX₂, that means that the nonmetal must have a valence of -1.

From the list the nonmetals with a valence of -1 are:

Bromine(Br) and fluorine(F).

How do the equilibrium concentrations of the reactants compare to the equilibrium concentrations of the product?

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: It depends equilibrium constant K

Explanation: You need to to have reaction formula.

If K >> 1 then concentrations of products are much bigger than

concentrations of reactants. If K < < 1, concentration of products is small.

How is it possible to predict the type of bond that is likely to be found in a substance? what types of atoms generally form ion

Alenkasestr [34]

Using electronegativity difference is a good guide to the ionic/ covalent nature. Large differences indicate greater ionic character, small differences more covalent character. The larger the difference in electronegativity the more ionic properties a bond is said to have. The smaller the difference in electronegativity the more covalent properties a bond is said to have.
Ionic bonding is formed through electrostatic attraction between a cation and anion. Foe example, Sodium fluoride has ionic bonding because it is composed by sodium and Fluorine (a non metal). On the other hand, covalent bonding is characterized by atoms sharing pairs of electrons. For example; methane has covalent bonding; carbon has 4 valence electrons and hydrogen has 1; when they bond they have a total of 8 electrons and satisfies the octet rule.
