Common between wood, coal, diamond, pencil and why they are so different?
Answers
Answer:
carbon is common in this things
Explanation:
All the materials above are made up of carbon
Explanation:
Coal, diamond and pencil (graphite or lead) are all made up of the same compound that is carbon
Diamond have linked carbon structure which explains its hard and strong characteristics
Graphite at the same time, has layered structure and it soft and smooth.
And coal is a complex compound.
Which leaves the wood..
I had no idea how they were related so I did some search and to my surprise,
trees use the carbon from carbon dioxide to make sugar molecules. Woody tissue and bark of trees comprise most of a tree's biomass. Wood and bark is made of cellulose, which contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atom.
If you asked if wood is an odd one, it is. But if asked about their commons this maybe the answer.
Hope it helped.
Sorry if I made any mistakes.
