Question

which of the following is an example of a microscopic observation? ice cream melts and becomes liquid at room temperature. the carbon atoms in graphite are arranged in a hexagonal lattice structure. mercury appears as a silver metal liquid that pours easily. the most common color of apples are red, green, and yellow.

Explanation:

Microscopic observations involve details at the atomic or molecular level. The statement about carbon atoms in graphite being arranged in a hexagonal lattice structure is a microscopic observation as it refers to the atomic - level arrangement. The other statements (ice - cream melting, mercury's appearance, apple color) are macroscopic observations that can be seen with the naked eye.

Answer:

The carbon atoms in graphite are arranged in a hexagonal lattice structure.
