Solution

It seems like you've pasted a series of questions without specifying which one you want answered. Here are the answers to your questions:

  1. Each carbon atom in diamond forms four covalent bonds.
  2. Each carbon atom in graphite forms three covalent bonds.
  3. Graphite can conduct electricity because it has delocalised electrons that can move along between its layers.
  4. Diamond cannot conduct electricity because all the electrons are fixed in place within the covalent bonds.
  5. Diamond and graphite have such high melting points because they have very strong covalent bonds.
  6. The statement that best explains why graphite is soft is that the layers of carbon atoms can slide over each other.

Despite being composed entirely of carbon atoms, diamond and graphite exhibit distinct structures and properties due to their unique atomic ______ its tetrahedral structure where each carbon atom bonds to four others, diamond emerges as the hardest known material, while in contrast, graphite, comprised of layers of carbon atoms linked in hexagonal patterns but weakly bonded to other layers, displays both hardness and slipperiness, making it an ideal choice for pencil lead.15 Mark For Review15Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?A) arrangements withB) arrangements, withC) arrangements.
