Transport Phenomenon (Electrical and Thermal) in two allotropic forms of Carbon (Diamond and Graphite) Graphite and Diamond both are formed from carbon (two allotropic forms of carbon). Though they have similar constituent element‚ they differ a lot in their properties. Diamond is a good thermal conductor but a bad electrical conductor‚ while graphite is a bad thermal conductor but a good electrical conductor. This is one example of their property difference. The difference in their properties

“nobody speaks it any more” (Crystal 2000). According to Colls (2009)‚ the size of language pool is over 7000‚ but by end of this century‚ it is estimated that 90% of those languages “would have ceased to exist”. The major factors which directly pose the increase of endangered languages are various‚ ranging from natural disasters‚ cultural homogenization and assimilation‚ policies made by governments (Hetrick 2014) and influence of dominate and mainstream culture (Crystal 1999).

Appearance of rock salt crystals Before crushing: Jagged edges‚ very few smooth surfaces‚ size was 9mm x 6mm‚ cubic crystal shape with ridge like features. Color was opaque‚ borderline grey with milky white indentations. After crushing: Some pieces appeared transparent‚ shinny and became individual crystals. Wet: The drops on the crystals formed a dome. No movement of H2O. After a few minutes smaller crystal were absorbed by H2O with some bubbles at bottom while larger crystals were slowly beginning
