5 0

Fluorite is harder than gypsum but softer than apatite. Thus, the correct option is B.

<h3>What is the hardness of any element?</h3>

The hardness of any element may be defined as the capability of a material to oppose the process of deformation and remains in actual shape precisely.  

According to the table of hardness scales by Mohs, the increasing order of given hardness of given elements is as follows:

Gypsum < Fluorite < Apatite.

Therefore, Fluorite is harder than gypsum but softer than apatite. Thus, the correct option is B.

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

1) acetylide

2) enol

3) aldehydes

4) tautomers

5) alkynes

6) Hydroboration

7) Keto

8) methyl ketones

Explanation:

Acetylide anions (R-C≡C^-) is a strong nucleophile. Being a strong nucleophile, we can use it to open up an epoxide ring by SN2 mechanism. The attack of the acetylide ion occurs from the backside of the epoxide ring. It must attack at the less substituted side of the epoxide.

Oxomercuration of alkynes and hydroboration of alkynes are similar reactions in that they both yield carbonyl compounds that often exhibit keto-enol tautomerism.

The equilibrium position may lie towards the Keto form of the compound. Usually, if terminal alkynes are used, the product of the reaction is a methyl ketone.

What happens to the temperatures when we have direct sunlight vs indirect sunlight?
lawyer [7]

Explanation:

When we have direct sunlight, the temperature is higher compared to indirect sunlight.

Direct sunlight is usually overhead whereas indirect sunlight is at an angle to the surface.

  • Direct sunlight impacts the surface with more energy concentrated on a smaller surface area.
  • This warms the surface more.
  • Indirect sunlight is diffuse and spreads over a wider area.
  • This leads to a reduction in temperature.
