The chemical formula of a carbonate ion is CO3^2-. It is an AX3 system which means it take the trigonal planar shape. There would be two single bonds of C-O and one double bond C-O in order for C to agree with the octet rule. Two minus charges are equally distributed to the three oxygen atoms so that each oxygen of the carbonate ion would have a charge of negative 2/3.
Answer:
Tectonic plates slides against each other. Though when two plates run into each other one gets pushed underneath while the other plate gets pushed up. This is how mountains and volcanoes are formed.
Explanation:
ye
Answer + Explanation:
1. The different ways tectonic plates move in relation to each other are:
convergent (where plates move into one another)
divergent (where plates move apart)
transform (where plates move sideways in relation to each other)
2. Convergent plate boundaries can result in:
earthquakes, volcanoes, and the formation of mountains.
The Himalaya Mountains are the result of convergent plate boundaries.
3. Landforms that are a result of divergent boundaries are rift valleys and mid-oceanic ridges.
Locations where this occurs are: Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Red Sea Rift, Baikal Rift Zone
, East African Rift, East Pacific Rise, Gakkel Ridge, Galapagos Rise, and Explorer Ridge.
4. Transforming plate boundaries results in shallow earthquakes, large lateral displacement of rock, and a broad zone of crustal deformation.
A location where this occurs is: San Andreas Fault in western California

So, we have:
- molecular weight
- shape
- temperature
- kinetic energy
- mass
- density
Let's rule out the different options.
- molecular weight: Say you have a molecule of H2O. H2O can be a solid, liquid, or gas, but its molecular weight never changes throughout (It's still the same molecule, no matter what phase it is in). We can rule this out.
- shape: Let's pretend we have three identical closed containers, and we fill each one halfway with water, blocks of ice cubes, and water vapor. In the container with water, you will see that the water takes the shape of the container, but doesn't fill the entire container up. The ice cubes will stay ice cubes, assuming they don't melt, so they don't take the shape of the container. The vapor will fill up the entire container. Since all three are different, I would say yes, this could be a distinguishable feature.
- temperature: In general, I would say no, because every element/molecule has different boiling points and different vaporization points. So if you have a liquid at 5°C, you could also have a different element in solid form at 5°C. But if you're comparing a single type of molecule, it would have a boiling point and a vaporization point, so you <em>would</em> be able to tell between them.
- kinetic energy: Kinetic energy refers to how much movement there is in respect to each molecule. In solids, the molecules are packed tightly together and can't move very much, so they have lower kinetic energy. In liquids, they are less packed, but still restricted. And in gases, they can fly freely, so they will have much more kinetic energy than liquids or solids. This one's a yes.
- mass: No matter what form, there are still the same amount of molecules, and each molecule has the same mass as before. It won't change.
- density: Since the molecules are more spread out in gases, it will be less dense. Liquids will be more dense, and solids will have the greatest density. So, yes.
Conclusion: shape, kinetic energy, density, (and temperature if it's talking about a single type of molecule)
Answer:
Hello
Topsoil consists of most weathered mineral and organic material. Biological agents are also responsible for the breakdown of complex organic matter which releases simple nutrients. This process of mineralisation make soil fertile.
