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.

PLS HELPPP<br> why is CH3OH more polar than CH3CH2OH
dusya [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Polarity is about differencens in electronegativity. CH bonds have around the same electronegativity value so a CH bond is nonpolar. The more CH bonds there are in a molecule, the more nonpolar it is. Since CH3CH2OH has more carbon-hydrogen bonds than CH3OH, it is more nonpolar. With the same reasoning, since CH3OH has less CH bonds, it's more polar.

The diagram shows Niels Bohr’s model of an atom.
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Energy is absorbed, and an emission line is produced.

Explanation:

Electrons are present and revolving continuously in the orbits that are present around the nucleus. The energy of electron are fixed and unable to move to other orbits due to the strong attractive force of the proton which is present in the nucleus of the atom. If the electron wants to jump from the first energy level to the second energy level, so the electron has to absorb enough energy which can overcome the attractive force of proton.

Based on the vibrational difference you observed, state a hypothesis to explain why diatomic molecules in the air, such as oxyge
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The ability of a gas to function as a green house gas depends on its ability to absorb infra red rays. In turn, the absorption of infrared red rays depends on whether or not the molecule is IR active.

The triatomic molecules such as methane and water are IR active. Only IR active molecules can lead to green house effect.

Note that for a molecular vibrational mode to be IR active, the dipole moment of the molecule is changed as the vibration occurs .
