Textbook Question
Chapter 23, Problem 1RCC
Diamond and graphite are minerals made of 100% carbon.
Are diamond and graphite the same mineral or different
minerals? Why?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Whether diamond and graphite are the same minerals or different, and the reason for the same.
Answer to Problem 1RCC
Solution:
Diamond and graphite are the two different minerals because their atoms are arranged differently.
Explanation of Solution
Diamond and graphite are polymorphs. The two minerals that contain the same elements in the same ratio but their atoms are arranged differently are called polymorphs. Diamond and graphite are pure carbon, but they are different minerals because their atoms are arranged differently. In diamond, the carbon atoms form a tight, three-dimensional network; whereas, the carbon atoms in graphite form sheets that slip past one another easily.

The axis of the magnet is lined up with the center of the loop. For the action depicted in (Figure 5), indicate the direction of the induced current in the loop (clockwise, counterclockwise or zero, when seen from the right of the loop).
