Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of minerals

Chemistry
1 answer:
o-na [289]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A. Occur in gaseous and liquid state

Explanation:

The choice that is not a characteristic of minerals is that minerals occur in gaseous and liquid state.

All minerals are solid inorganic compounds.

  • A mineral is an inorganic compound that is formed naturally.
  • They have a definite and specific chemical composition.
  • Minerals are the building blocks of rocks.
  • When minerals aggregates together, they form different rock types.
  • There is no known mineral that is in fluid state.
  • All minerals are solids.
  • Examples are quartz, kaolinite, gypsum e.t.c

GrogVix [38]

Here's the Answer !

Atomic number = no. of electrons = no. of protons, therefore :

  • no. of electrons = 7

  • no. of protons = 7

and mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

so,

  • 7 + no. of neutrons = 14

  • no. of neutrons = 7

A cooling curve has two flat lines, or plateaus. What does the plateau at the higher temperature represent?
blagie [28]

Answer:

It is in the state of "thermal arrest"

Explanation:

The temperature stays constant during the phase change process . This is because the matter has more internal energy and heat has to be taken away for the solidification process to begin. The energy that is required for a phase change is know as latent heat (which is the energy released or absorbed by a body during a thermodynamic process).

Use the periodic table to determine the electron configuration for Ca and Pm in noble-gas notation Ca: [Ar]4s2 [Ar]4s1 [Ar]3s2 [
sveta [45]
Answer:

1) Ca: [Ar]4s²
2) Pm: [Xe]6s²4f⁵

Explanation:

1) Ca:

Its atomic number is 20. So it has 20 protons and 20 electrons.

Since it is in the row (period) 4 the noble gas before it is Ar, and the electron configuration is that of Argon whose atomic number is 18.

So, you have two more electrons (20 - 18 = 2) to distribute.

Those two electrons go the the orbital 4s.

Finally, the electron configuration is [Ar] 4s².

2) Pm

The atomic number of Pm is 61, so it has 61 protons and 61 electrons.

Pm is in the row (period) 6. So, the noble gas before Pm is Xe.

The atomic number of Xe is 54.

Therefore, you have to distribute 61 - 54 = 7 electrons on the orbitals 6s and 4f.

The resultant distribution for Pm is: [Xe]6s² 4f⁵.
