Which has more atoms 12 grams of carbon or 32 grams of carbon?
32g
How many carbon atoms are there in a diamond?
There is no such thing as a "diamond molecule"; a diamond is just crystalized carbon atoms. In another sense, a diamond is one big, visible molecule. A one-carat diamond is one big molecule weighing 0.2g and having 10 sextillion atoms. Lots and lots of atoms!
Does the diamond have a cleavage or fracture?
Diamond stone, because of its lattice structure of carbon atoms, is identified as an 'octahedral; perfect and easy' cleavage (according to Wikipedia). Read more, below.
Which molecules have more than 1000 atoms?
Molecules with giant-covalent structures have thousands of atoms in them, and some examples include diamond, graphite, hydrocarbons with a relatively longer carbon chains, silica and carborundum.
What are the properties of a diamond?
A gem-stone quality diamond is valued by its cut, clarity, carat weight and colour. Diamond is one allotrope carbon of where the carbon atoms are arranged in the specific type of cubic lattice called diamond cubic. Diamond is an optically isotropic crystal that is transparent to opaque. Seventy-five percent or more of all diamonds mined are used by industry, because of the hardness of diamond.
Which has more atoms 12 grams of carbon or 32 grams of carbon?
32g
Is diamond 100 percent carbon?
yes, diamond is made of carbon. Diamond is a macromolecule made of many carbon atoms. Each carbon atom is joined to 4 more carbon atoms each. Having each atom of carbon bonded to four other atoms is why diamond is so hard- there are lots of strong chemical bonds to overcome.
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 happens to graphite when you change it to diamond?
Graphite's carbon atoms will become more compact, and the density will increase to that of diamond. Both are made of carbon atoms, but different densities. By the way, I am answering the exact same question right now on my chemistry honors homework.
What is the structure of a diamond?
Synthetic single crystal diamond has an identical physical structure to that of natural single crystal diamond. The basic diamond atomic structure, described by its unit cell can be pictured as a face-centred cube with a carbon atom in the middle of each face and four more atoms arranged diagonally opposite each other in pairs, with the upper plane offset at a right angle to the lower plane. Unlike graphite, the individual planes are not flat but corrugated. In diamond, each carbon atom is connected to four other carbon atoms by covalent bonds. In the simplest case, these four atoms form a perfect tetrahedron. Due to covalent bonding between the atoms there are no free electrons and synthetic diamond is normally not electrically conducting. In the case for synthetic diamond, one or more of the carbon atoms might be replaced (or substituted) with nitrogen atoms, giving the diamond a yellow colour.
What has more atoms 2.88 grams of helium atoms or 16.4 grams of zinc atoms?
2,88 grams of helium have 3,761.1023 atoms; 16,4 grams of zinc have 1,511.1023 atoms.
How does the number of atoms affect substance?
I assume you're asking about density when you say "substance." Take the example of carbon. In one form, it is a black powder (think soot). In its densest form it is diamond. A teaspoon of diamond has many more carbon atoms in it than a teaspoon of soot.
Is diamond a mineral or a crystal?
Diamond is considered an elemental mineral.Diamond is made of pure carbon, with carbon atoms arranged in a cubic structure and bonded to their neighbors in a very compact way. So, diamond is made of an element but it is not an element. It is not a compound either, because, by definition, a compound is made up of two or more elements.I would say diamond is crystalline form of carbon, that is, it is composed merely of carbon atoms in a highly structured arrangement. It is carbon, like charcoal, but its more expensive due to its good properties that include natural hardness and beauty. Note that only about 20% of all diamonds mined are gem-quality stones.

Why do diamond and graphite have different physical properties even though they are both entirely composed of carbon?
Since the chemical properties remain same,The physical structural form of carbons varies in both diamond and graphite.Here diamond is called as the strongest substance ever known.graphite is a good conductor on electricity as it gives out one free electron for generating electricity.
