What pairs of atoms are arranged in the correct order according to increasing bond?
Single bonds have the longest but weakest bonds Double bonds have the intermediate length and strength Triple bonds have the shortest but strongest bonds. This is due to electronegativity and how strongly close the electrons are to the protons.
Why is a diamond different from non metals?
Diamonds are the hardest natural objects. They are also formed of a symmetrical matrix of all carbon molecules. Diamonds can be formed naturally only with great amounts of heat and pressure under the earth for presumably many millions of years.
What bond has the weakest bond energy?
When discussing bond strength, the discussion centers around the amount of energy required to break the bonds, not maintain them. Weak bonds have higher negative potential energy then strong bonds.
What are some properties of fullerene?
diamonds form a 3 dimensional lattice. they also have have four bonds per atom. This makes a very strong material. graphite forms a 2 dimensional lattice. it has 3 bonds per atoms (the fourth bond is added to the other three making partial double bonds). it forms sheets. it has excellent 2-d strength: it is what is used in carbon fibers. it also is an excellent lubricant because the sheets slide on one another. fullerenes are like graphite, but the small sheets are wrapped up into small balls or tubes. this gives them 3 d strength on a nano scale. But they lack large scale 3d properties.
Can a katana cut through a diamond?
Only diamonds can damage other diamonds (or, of course, extremely heavy weights). Possibly if the katana was diamond-studded, or the edges were made of diamonds. I suppose if you could swing it hard enough you could shatter the diamond (like the heavy weight thing above) but you'd have to have superhuman strength.
Do diamonds have single or double bonds?
single bonds
Are diamonds metallic bonds?
NO!!! Diamonds are an allotrope of carbon. Each carbon atom forms four covalent bonds with four adjacent carbon atoms. The result is the ADAMANTINE structure ( Very similar to a pyramid).
What type of bonding do silicon and diamonds have in common?
Covalent bonds.
What it the bond strength of hydrogen bonds?
HYDRO the whole question is to order the following inter molecular forces by increasing strength of bonds: covalent bonds ionic bonds- london dispersion forces dipolar forces hydrogen bonds metallic bonds
How does the strength of the bonds between the atoms of a hydrocarbons compare with the strength of the forces of attraction between its molecules?
The intramolecular bonds are stronger.
Do all bonds have the same strength?
No.
Why are diamonds used in some drills and saw blades?
diamonds are used for there strength and there ablity to remain sharp
What is the difference between strength and hardness?
The difference between strength and hardness is that the strength refers to the force that is present between the bonds. Strength attributes to how strong or weak the force between the bonds. Hardness refers to the nature of the force, which basically is how rigid or flexible the bonds between particles.
What is the difference in strength between atoms with ionic bonds and atoms with covalent bonds?
ionic bonds have strong bonds and molecular bonds have very strong bonds.
Why is diamond more dense than coal?
Because a diamond has more carbon bonds than coal. Carbon bonds are very strong and can only be broken in one direction. Diamonds have 3 carbon bonds, which makes it very hard. Diamonds can only be cut in one direction, that is because of the number of carbon bonds.
What does diamonds represent?
Diamonds represent status, strength, everlasting love, and beauty. Diamonds also represent purity, as they are made from a sole element - carbon. For these reasons, diamonds are set in engagement rings, anniversary rings, and virtually every other type of jewelry around the world. Diamond represent hardness, strength, beauty.
Which consumers use diamonds in the us?
About 80% of all diamonds mined are industrial diamonds, used to enhance the sharpness, accuracy and strength of tools. The remaining 20% are gem-quality diamonds, consumed by investors -- both emotional and monetary.
