Which mineral is the hardest known-to-man?

Diamond is still the hardest substance known to man. Various carbides such as tungsten carbide, boron carbide, and silicon carbide are also extremely hard, but you will notice that they all contain carbon (diamond is pure carbon - the rest are carbon compounds.)


What is the same and different about the structures of carbon atoms when all carbon atoms have atomic number 6 but some have mass number 12 and others have 14 as the mass number?

Carbon 12 is abundant and stable. Carbon 14 is rare and radioactive Carbon 14 has ever so slightly different chemical properties than Carbon 12 but not so much as anyone but a really particular chemist would notice.


Is C10H16N2O3S organic or inorganic?

Organic...Notice the presence of the C atoms


What element is present in lead graphite?

Graphite is a form of Carbon, so its carbon in lead graphite. Notice that lead itself is a different element but the term "lead graphite" is generally used for that black substance which makes the "lead pencils". Note that there is no lead in lead pencils, its carbon, in the shape of graphite.


Who invented the propane tank regulator?

Alessandro Volta discovered methane in 1777.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Methane" is a name used to describe the gas molecule. The formula is CH4.Butane can be written with the formula of C2H6.Propane, the stuff you burn in the stove, has the formula of C3H8.Now do you notice any similarities in the naming of these three gases?Notice that Meth- , But- , and Prop- is the only difference, but the ending -ane is to describe the type of molecule it is. The naming had been standardized by IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry), so people can't name things like Buttworthium for fart gas.

What is the evidence that Africa was once cold?

The glaciers have eroded and chemically changed substinences on Africa. Years and years caused large pileups and created vast deposits of hydrocarbons, which are fossil fuels. (Also notice that hydrocarbons has the root hyro- in it, which means water)


When the numerator is greater than the denominator what do you notice about the values for decimal and percent?

The decimal value will be greater than 1, and the percent will be greater than 100%.


Is carbon an example of a compound?

Well, carbon's abbreviation in chemistry is C. You may notice the absence of any other letters. Which means that carbon is an example of an element, not a 'compund'. And by the way, it's spelled 'Compound'.


What do you notice about the locations of the prime numbers greater than 3?

If you notice something, it is [most likely] a false impression. There is no known pattern to prime numbers.


Why is 4.23 less than 4.13?

Is there a posibility for a carbon to have 5 bonds?

No, if you take a look at the molecular orbitals of carbon, you will notice that its LUMO is the sigma antibonding orbital. This means if you try to put any electrons into a carbon with 4 existing bonds, you are actually breaking bonds. It can however, exist in an extremely unstable high energy intermediate.


Is 0.250 greater than 0.375?

No. 0.375 > (greater than) 0.250. When comparing If a decimal is bigger or smaller than one another look for the decimal that is closer to reaching 1.0. If you notice 0.375 is closer to 1.0 than 0.250.
