Help please!Copper has a cubic close-packed structure. Why does copper wire not break when it is bent? Diamond is used as an abrasive on cutting tools. How do you explain this property in terms of the structure of diamond? List one common property of diamond.Graphite is used as a lubricant. How do you explain this property in terms of the structure of graphite? What is one common property of graphite?Thanks so much! 10 points for the best answer!!
Copper doesn't break because of it's structure (holes in the center) and metals are soft therefore easier to bend. Molecules slide on each other. Diamonds have the most tightly packed structure ,a hexagonal structure. Diamonds are the hardest gem on the Mohr scale. (hardness scale for gems) Graphite is soft and therefore can be bended. Graphite is a good electrical conductor.
Ions are purely atoms with lacking electrons, constructive value, or better electrons, unfavorable value. A single atom with the two of those circumstances could be stated as an ion. Get 2 or extra of those ions jointly and additionally you get a polyatomic ion. Poly (many), atomic (atoms) ion (charged atom). Ions are atoms, polyatomic ions are purely distinctive ions bonded jointly.
