Explanation

Gold has the symbol Au.

It has the atomic number 79.

This making it one of the higher atomic number elements found in nature.

Explanation

Diamond is a solid form of pure carbon with its atoms arranged in a crystal.

Explanation

1 g of fat provides 37 kJ of energy on oxidation while

1 g of carbohydrate on oxidation gives 17 kJ of energy.

Hence, fat has the highest calorific value.

Explanation

Lithium is the lightest metal.

It has the lowest density of all metals.

This making it the least dense metal element.

Explanation

Silicon is not the conductor

***
Aluminum and gold are metals so they are good conductors of electricity.

Now graphite is an allotropic form of carbon and is the only nonmetal that can conduct electricity.

Silicon is a semiconductor.

Explanation

Argon is a commonly used gas used to fill incandescent light bulbs.

It increases bulb life by preventing the tungsten filaments from deteriorating too quickly.

Other gases are also used in lighting such as:

• Helium
• Neon
• Nitrogen
• Krypton

Explanation

The process of applying a zinc coating to iron or steel to prevent rusting is called galvanizing.

This helps protect the metal from corrosion.

Explanation

Diamond is an allotropic form of carbon.

Carbon is capable of forming many allotropes, which are structurally different forms of the same element, due to its valency.

Some of the well-known forms of carbon include:

• Diamond
• Graphite
• Graphene
• Lonsdaleite (hexagonal diamond)
• Graphenylene
• Carbophene
• AA'-graphite
• Diamane
• Amorphous carbon
• Nanocarbons
• Glassy carbon
• Carbon nanofoam
• Carbide-derived carbon
• Linear acetylenic carbon
• Cyclocarbons
