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.

Identify the element whose highest energy electron would have the following four quantum numbers?
ad-work [718]

C. 6, 1, 0, -1/2

Explanation:

The four quantum numbers are:

  • Principal quantum number (n): this represents the energy level in which an orbital is located.
  • Azimuthal quantum number gives the shape of the orbitals in subshells accommodating the electrons.
  • Magnetic quantum number gives the number of spatial orientations or degeneracy of the orbitals in the subshells.
  • Spin quantum number describes the spinning of an electron in either clockwise or anticlockwise directions.

To know the electron with the highest energy, we use the principal quantum number values.

n values takes whole numbers i.e n = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7.............

The higher the value, the higher the energy level.

From the given quantum numbers, C has the highest energy levels.

For the closed system below: Cu(s) + 2Ag+(aq) 2Ag(s) + Cu2+(aq) How would you know if the system is at equilibrium?
zaharov [31]
For the chemical reactiom to be at equilibrium:
1- The rate of forward reaction must be equal to the rate of the reverse reaction.
2- The mass of EACH element must be equal before and after the reaction (no NET change in mass), otherwise the equilibrium will shift.

Important note: you need to check the mass of each element before and after the reaction (i.e, reactants side and products side) and the not the mass of the system as a whole. This is because the mass of the whole system will be preserved whether the system is at equilibrium or not (this is the fundamental law of mass conservation)

The ion n3− has _____ protons and _____ electrons.enter your answers as integers separated by a comma.
bearhunter [10]
The ion N³⁻ is called the azide ion. In its neutral state, it occurs as the element Nitrogen. The atomic number of Nitrogen is 7. When it turns into an anion (negatively charged ion), it gains 3 more electrons. That's why its net charge becomes -3. It means that the protons is still 7, but the electrons are now 10. 

Overall charge = +7 + -10 = -3

. The ring shape of the Cartwheel Galaxy is due to:
dlinn [17]

The ring shape of the Cartwheel Galaxy is due to collisions with another galaxy.

<h3>What causes the ring shape of the Cartwheel Galaxy?</h3>

The unusual shape of the Cartwheel Galaxy is due to a collision with a smaller galaxy. The recent star burst has lighted up the Cartwheel rim which has a diameter larger than that of the Milky Way galaxy in which our planet exists. The Cartwheel Galaxy is a lenticular ring galaxy which is about 500 million light-years away. This galaxy was discovered by Fritz Zwicky in the year 1941.

So we can conclude that the ring shape of the Cartwheel Galaxy is due to collisions with another galaxy.
