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.

Protons Ha and Hb in the compound given are _________. homotopic enantiotopic diastereotopic mesotopic none of these
jek_recluse [69]

Protons Ha and Hb in the compound given are enantiotopic.

<h3>What are enantiotopic protons?</h3>

Enantiotopic protons can be defined as those protons that can be replaced by another groups like deuterium.

<h3>What is a compound?</h3>

A compound is a substance which contains two or more elements chemically combined together.

So therefore, Protons Ha and Hb in the compound given are enantiotopic.

Scientists need special tools to work in the laboratory. These tools are known as___________
inessss [21]
Instruments

The specific type of instruments depends on the type of laboratory that you're working in: some labs for example use electron microscopes, others use mass spectrophotometers, others use multiplex biochemical analyzers, etc. But very broadly, the specialized tools we use in the laboratory are usually referred to as "instruments"

Select the keyword or phrase that will best complete each sentence.
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

1) acetylide

2) enol

3) aldehydes

4) tautomers

5) alkynes

6) Hydroboration

7) Keto

8) methyl ketones

Explanation:

Acetylide anions (R-C≡C^-) is a strong nucleophile. Being a strong nucleophile, we can use it to open up an epoxide ring by SN2 mechanism. The attack of the acetylide ion occurs from the backside of the epoxide ring. It must attack at the less substituted side of the epoxide.

Oxomercuration of alkynes and hydroboration of alkynes are similar reactions in that they both yield carbonyl compounds that often exhibit keto-enol tautomerism.

The equilibrium position may lie towards the Keto form of the compound. Usually, if terminal alkynes are used, the product of the reaction is a methyl ketone.

What electron could have quantum numbers n = 2, l = 1, ml = 0, ms = +?
MrMuchimi
Answer is: electron in 2pz orbital.

The principal quantum number is one of four quantum numbers which are assigned to each electron in an atom to describe that electron's state, n=1,2,3... n=2 - <span>the </span>second energy level.<span>
The azimuthal quantum number is a quantum number for an atomic orbital that determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital. l = 0,1...n-1, when l = 1, that is p </span>subshell.

The magnetic quantum number<span>, </span><span>ml, show</span> orbital<span> in which the electron is located, ml = -l...+l, ml = 0  is pz orbital.</span>

The spin quantum number<span>, </span><span>ms</span><span>, is the spin of the electron; ms = +1/2 or -1/2.</span>
