Answer:
The corect answer is c) naturally occurring; solids
Explanation:
Minerals exists as solid substances in nature consisting of one or more element chemically combined together formiming compounds with definite composition. As mentioned earlier single elements can form minerals and examples of single element mineral are Silver, Carbon and Gold which are found in nature in their pure form and are mined.
Minerals are normally found in rocks, which may contain one ore more different types of minerals
Answer:
The smallest unit of a compound is a molecule, which is made up of atoms held together by bonds.
Answer:
A bonding that occurs between high electronegative atoms such are N, F, O and H atoms, is called a hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bond is a very strong bond. (C)
If hydrogen bonds are not formed between H atoms and N, F, O atom, then the atoms interact through dispersion forces (also known as london dispersion forces). Dispersion forces are weak and they are temporary forces formed by overlapping of orbitals. (B)
A mixture is said to be homogeneous if its composition is uniform throughout the mixture. They are referred to as solutions. On the other hand, heterogeneous mixture does not have uniform composition. The substances present in the mixture have visible difference or phases.
Sea water is composed of salt, sand and water. Here, salt and water form homogeneous mixture but due to the presence of sand, the mixture is heterogeneous. Salt dissolves in water and the solution has uniform composition but sand does not dissolve in water, even after vigorous mixing, after some time it settles at the bottom resulting formation of layers. Thus, sea water containing salt, water and sand is a heterogeneous mixture.
Answer: He could add a base to the pool to neutralize the acid.
Explanation:
Chlorine is used to disinfect the pools as it produces hypochlorous acid in water. This hypochlorous acid is unstable and gives hydrochloric acid and nascent oxygen which is used to disinfect.
The excess acid is neutralized by adding base which produces salt and water and thus decrease the acidity.
Adding more acid would increase the acidity further.
