Diamond is made of carbon atoms attached rigidly to each other in three directions making diamond very strong. Graphite, as found in a pencil, is easily broken under pressure. Since graphite is also made of carbon atoms, why might it have such a different property?
 a. The carbon atoms in graphite form strong bonds along two-dimensional sheets but attach weakly between sheets.
  b. The carbon atoms in graphite are a different form of carbon from that in diamond.
  c. The surfaces of diamonds are treated to make them strong.
  d. The carbon atoms in graphite are not arranged in a regular repeating pattern, so that it is not a crystal while diamond is.
  e. Each carbon atom in graphite is only weakly attached to each of its neighboring carbons.

Question 2

What is the definition of density?
 a. The amount of volume in a standard unit of mass.
  b. The amount of weight in a standard unit of volume.
  c. The number of moles in a standard unit of volume.
  d. The amount of mass in a standard unit of volume.
  e. The amount of volume in a standard unit of weight.
