Why is a lot of energy needed to produce free carbon atoms from solid carbon?
A lot of energy is needed to produce free carbon atoms from solid carbon because breaking the strong covalent bonds holding the carbon atoms together in a solid structure requires a significant amount of energy. This process involves overcoming the forces of attraction between atoms and disrupting the orderly arrangement of the solid, which requires breaking multiple bonds and rearranging atoms into a different form.
Which type of crystalline solid forms when carbon atoms solidify?
network
Is CO2 in solid form sugar?
No, CO2 in solid form is carbon dioxide, not sugar. Sugar is a carbohydrate composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, while carbon dioxide is a compound made of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
What is graphite solid liquid or gas?
Graphite is a solid form of carbon. It is a crystalline form of carbon where the carbon atoms are arranged in layers. Graphite has a high melting point and does not exist in a liquid or gaseous state under normal conditions.
In a diamond what type of bonds link carbon atoms together to form a network solid?
covalent bonds
If you used charcoal as a fuel what happens to the atoms in the charcoal?
Charcoal is mostly carbon atoms arranged in a solid form, when combusted the carbon is combined with oxygen in the air (burned) to produce carbon dioxide, CO2, which would simply disperse in the atmosphere
Which allotrope of carbon has a 3 dimensional solid structure?
Diamond is the allotrope of carbon that has a 3-dimensional solid structure. It consists of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure, making it extremely hard and strong.
Are made up one carbon combined with tree oxygen atoms?
Yes, carbon trioxide (CO3) exist but it is very unstable.CO3 is obtained by the reaction of ozone with solid carbon dioxide.
What fat type has more hydrogen atoms attached to carbon atoms?
unsaturated fat -biology student at U of Manitoba
How many carbon atoms does fumarate have?
four carbon atoms
The carbon atoms in graphite and the carbon atoms in diamond have different?
They have different structures.They are both made up of Carbon (diamond has more Carbon atoms though) but the reason that graphite and diamond are so different in shape, hardness, etc, is due to how it is structured.The carbon atoms themselves are identical, the inter-atom bonding is different.Graphite - carbon atoms bond in flat hexagons that tessellate flat sheets.Diamond - carbon atoms bond in cubes that form a cubic crystal solid.
What atoms are in wax?
Mostly just carbon and hydrogen. A wax sort of a "hydrocarbon" with some oxygen.
