The hardest natural substance on Earth is **diamond**, which is composed of carbon atoms arranged in a rigid, three-dimensional lattice structure. Diamond has a **Mohs hardness of 10**, the highest possible rating on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. ### Why is Diamond So Hard? - **Strong covalent bonds**: Each carbon atom in diamond is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement, forming an extremely strong 3D network. - **High bond density**: The dense packing of atoms makes it difficult to break or deform the structure. - **Resistance to scratching**: Due to its hardness, diamond can scratch all other minerals but cannot be scratched by any other natural substance. ### Other Extremely Hard Natural Substances: 1. **Lonsdaleite (Hexagonal Diamond)** – A rare form of diamond with a slightly different crystal structure, theoretically harder than diamond (though natural samples are rare and often impure). 2. **Wurtzite Boron Nitride (w-BN)** – A synthetic or rare natural compound with a hardness close to diamond (though not as common in nature). 3. **Moissanite (Silicon Carbide, SiC)** – A naturally occurring mineral (found in meteorites) with a hardness of **9.0–9.25** on the Mohs scale. ### Key Notes: - **Diamond is not the toughest** (toughness refers to resistance to breaking, not hardness). For example, steel is tougher but much softer. - **Synthetic alternatives** like cubic boron nitride (CBN) and synthetic diamond are used in industrial applications due to their extreme hardness.

Let's break down the problem step by step to determine Josh's profit from flipping the house. ### 1. **Initial Purchase and Repair Costs** - **Purchase Price:** \$80,000 - **Repair Costs:** \$50,000 **Total Investment:** \[ \$80,000 + \$50,000 = \$130,000 \] ### 2. **Increase in House Value** The repairs increased the house's value by **150%**. **Original Value (before repairs):** \$80,000 **Increase in Value:** \[ 150\% \text{ of } \$80,000 = 1.5 \times \$80,000 = \$120,000 \] **New Value of the House:** \[ \$80,000 + \$120,000 = \$200,000 \] ### 3. **Calculating Profit** **Profit** is the difference between the selling price (new value) and the total investment. \[ \text{Profit} = \text{New Value} - \text{Total Investment} = \$200,000 - \$130,000 = \$70,000 \] ### **Final Answer** \[ \boxed{70000} \]

Let's break down Janet's daily egg usage and earnings step by step. 1. **Total Eggs Laid per Day:** \[ 16 \text{ eggs} \] 2. **Eggs Consumed for Breakfast:** \[ 3 \text{ eggs} \] 3. **Eggs Used for Baking Muffins:** \[ 4 \text{ eggs} \] 4. **Total Eggs Used:** \[ 3 \text{ (breakfast)} + 4 \text{ (baking)} = 7 \text{ eggs} \] 5. **Remaining Eggs for Sale:** \[ 16 \text{ eggs} - 7 \text{ eggs} = 9 \text{ eggs} \] 6. **Earnings from Selling Eggs:** \[ 9 \text{ eggs} \times \$2 \text{ per egg} = \$18 \] **Final Answer:** \[ \boxed{18} \]

Let's break down the problem step by step to find Sam's total profit. ### **1. Calculate the Total Cost:** - **Number of Boxes Purchased:** 12 (a dozen) - **Cost per Box:** \$10 \[ \text{Total Cost} = 12 \text{ boxes} \times \$10/\text{box} = \$120 \] ### **2. Determine the Total Number of Highlighters:** - **Pens per Box:** 30 \[ \text{Total Pens} = 12 \text{ boxes} \times 30 \text{ pens/box} = 360 \text{ pens} \] ### **3. Repackage the Highlighters:** - **Pens per Pack:** 6 \[ \text{Number of Packs} = \frac{360 \text{ pens}}{6 \text{ pens/pack}} = 60 \text{ packs} \] ### **4. Calculate the Total Revenue:** - **Selling Price per Pack:** \$5 \[ \text{Total Revenue} = 60 \text{ packs} \times \$5/\text{pack} = \$300 \] ### **5. Compute the Profit:** \[ \text{Profit} = \text{Total Revenue} - \text{Total Cost} = \$300 - \$120 = \$180 \] ### **Final Answer:** \[ \boxed{180} \]
