Which of the following chemical reactions is an oxidation-reduction reaction? cuso4 + bacl2 yields baso4 + cucl2 pb(no3)2 + 2nacl yields pbcl2 + 2nano3 n2 + 3h2 yields 2nh3 k2so4 + bacl2 yields baso4 + 2kcl

The allotropes of carbon include a variety of structures that include three-dimensional tetrahedral lattices, planes of hexagonal rings, cylindrical tubes of hexagonal rings, and spheres of five- and six-membered rings. similar shapes of network covalent atomic solids are possible with carbon nitride, boron, and pure silicon (e.g., silicene is a graphene-like allotrope of pure silicon). in contrast, silicates exist as either highly ordered or amorphous (more random) three-dimensional lattices. what could explain why there are there no naturally occurring sheets, stacked sheets, cylindrical tubes, or spheres of network covalent atomic solids composed of silicon and oxygen (sio2)? would pure silicate structures make good lubricants or good electrical conductors?
