The correct Answer is:
To determine which option is not a property of diamond, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option 1 - Insoluble in all solvents - Diamond is a covalent network solid, meaning it has a strong covalent bond throughout its structure. - Due to this strong bonding, diamond is indeed insoluble in most solvents. - **Conclusion**: This statement is true. ### Step 2: Analyze Option 2 - Oxidized with the mixture of dichromate and sulfuric acid - Diamond is known for its stability and hardness. - It is resistant to oxidation, even with strong oxidizing agents like acidified dichromate. - **Conclusion**: This statement is false because diamond cannot be oxidized by this mixture. ### Step 3: Analyze Option 3 - Used as an abrasive for sharpening the hardest tools - Due to its extreme hardness, diamond is commonly used as an abrasive material. - It is effective in cutting and sharpening tools. - **Conclusion**: This statement is true. ### Step 4: Analyze Option 4 - Delta H of fusion of diamond is 1.90 kJ/mol - The enthalpy of fusion (ΔH_fusion) for diamond is indeed around 1.90 kJ/mol. - This is a recognized thermodynamic property of diamond. - **Conclusion**: This statement is true. ### Final Conclusion: After analyzing all the options, we find that the statement which is **not a property of diamond** is **Option 2**, which claims that diamond can be oxidized with a mixture of dichromate and sulfuric acid. ---
