Chemistry

Misha Larkins [42]3 years ago
6 0
A mineral is a naturally occurring , solid, crystalline substance with a specific chemical composition. Minerals are usually inorganic and are formed by ionic, covalent or metallic bonding. Ionic bonds are the dominant type of bonds in mineral strictures. 90% of all minerals are ionic compounds. Minerals bonded by covalent bonds are strong, for example carbon bonded together to form diamond. Metallic bonds are a type of covalent bonds where the atoms have a strong tendency to lose electrons and pack together as cations.

16. Which of the following are examples of ionic compounds? Select all that apply.
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

KBr, FeF3

Explanation:

Potassium ion (K+) + bromide ion (Br-) make the ionic compound KBr

Iron (III) ion (Fe3+) + 3 fluoride ions (F-) make the ionic compound FeF3

NH3 has covalent bonds so it isn't ionic

Mg12 is an elemental compound

How does oxygen concentration affect the fish that live in a pond
Maurinko [17]

Explanation: Oxygen plays a very vital role in the life of aquatic animals. The dissolved oxygen in the water helps them to breathe under water.

Optimum level of oxygen for deep living animals like oysters, bottom feeders, crabs is around (1-6 mg/L), while the animals living on the upper side like fishes require a higher amount of around (4-6 mg/L).

If the oxygen concentration in the pond is not optimum, there will no aquatic life and hence, the ecosystem will be affected.

Hence, oxygen concentration affects the fishes that live in the pond to a higher extent.
