What characteristics best describes the low entropy associated with solids?
The atoms are arranged in a rigid structure.
Why does graphite feels greasy but diamonds don't?
in graphite the layers of carbon atoms slide over eachother making it feel greasy in the case of diamong the rigid structure prevents any movement
What makes diamonds so strong and graphite so brittle and breakable?
It is the structure of the combination of carbon atoms. In diamond , each carbon atom combines tetrahedrally with dour adjacent carbons atoms. This gives it a very hard and rigid structure. In graphite each carbon atom combines hexagonally with three adjacent carbon atoms , leaving a 'free' electron in uncombined form . This gives graphite a softer structure, which can slide over each other as sheets of carbon atoms.
Are diamonds only made from coal?
Diamonds are formed from carbon, which is also the base mineral of coal: written another way, both are allotropes -- elementary substances -- of carbon. The difference is in the arrangement of the carbon atoms, with diamonds being examples of an extremely rigid lattice.
Why solids are rigid?
Solids are rigid and hard because they have no definite shape and volume and they're tightly packed
What a rigid bar that turns freely about a pivot?
friction

Why is steel stronger then iron?
Because carbon atoms fill in some of the iron atoms in the latticework, making it more rigid.
What best explains the entropy content of solids?
The atoms are arranged in a rigid structure.
Does convection happen in the crust?
No. The crust is rigid; it does not allow convection.

Who compared atoms to marbles?
JOHN DALTON proposed the atomic theory that COMPARED AtOmS to MARBLES. His theory stated that atoms are "rigid spheres" that cannot be broken.

What is known as rotation?
Any rigid body can rotate if it moves repeatedly about a fixed axis. If the axis is inside the body that is also called revolving.
What kind of fat has more hydrogen atoms and is more rigid?
Saturated fats. Also called hydrogenated fats.
