Question options: <em> a. have a crystal structure b. has an unpredictable chemical structure c. can be liquid or solid d. can be organic or inorganic .</em>

Answer:

options (a) and (c) applies

Explanation:

  • Minerals usually have a definite crystalline structure, however this is not always the case, as some naturally occurring minerals are not crystal like.
  • the chemical structure of minerals are predictable.
  • Minerals can only exist as solids. if any substance is in its liquid form then its not a mineral.
  • finally minerals can either be inorganic or organic.Inorganic minerals do not contain carbon, while organic minerals are made up of carbon

Minerals are solid, naturally occurring, inorganic compounds that possess an orderly internal structure and a regular chemical composition. Minerals should occur naturally. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.

Consider the following voltaic cell:(b) In which half-cell does oxidation occur?
damaskus [11]

At the anode, half-cell oxidation occurs in a voltaic cell.

<h3>Voltaic Cell Principle</h3>

A voltaic cell generates electricity due to the Gibbs free energy of spontaneous redox processes occurring inside the cell, which is the basis for the voltaic cell's operating principle.

Two half-cells plus a salt bridge make up the voltaic cell. An electrolyte-immersed metallic electrode is present on each side of the cell. These two half-cells are wired together to form a connection to a voltmeter.

<h3>Voltaic Cell Parts</h3>
  • Copper makes comprises the cathode of a photovoltaic cell. This electrode serves as the cell's positive terminal, where reduction takes place.
  • Anode: Zink metal makes up this electrode. It creates the cell's negative electrode, where oxidation takes place.
  • Oxidation and reduction are divided into two discrete parts in two half-cells.
  • Salt Bridge: It contains the electrolytes needed to finish the circuit in the voltaic cell.
  • The flow of electrons between the electrodes occurs via the external circuit.
