Report Abuse. The difference between a gene, a chromosome and DNA is that DNA is the nucleic acid contained within chromosomes located in the nucleus of cells. In addition, genes are located on cells and they control the production of proteins.Source(s): I am taking AP biology and Anatomy/Physiology Honors.NA is the molecular code that codes for all proteins which make up life, a gene is a piece of dna that codes for one protein. A chromosome is a strand of DNA, this is where a number of genes are located, humans have 23 types of chromosomes and have two of each type.
Start with Carbon. Understanding the chemistry of a diamond requires a basic knowledge of the element carbon. A neutral carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 neutrons in its nucleus, balanced by 6 electrons. The electron shell configuration of carbon is 1s 2 2s 2 2p 2.
Diamond has a giant molecular structure. Each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms. A lot of energy is needed to separate the atoms in diamond. This is because covalent bonds are strong, and diamond contains very many covalent bonds. This makes diamond's melting point and boiling point very high.There are no free electrons or ions in diamond, so it does not conduct electricity.Page: 1  1. lot of energy is needed to separate the atoms in diamond.
