Which mineral leaves a green-black powder when rubbed against an unglazed porcelain plate

Chemistry

solong [7]3 years ago
4 0

<u>Answer:</u>

Pyrite leaves behind a green-black streak when it is rubbed against an unglazed porcelain plate as a part of the streak test process.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Different minerals produce different coloured streaks when rubbed against a white ceramic or porcelain streak plate. This streak test is done to identify the mineral and distinguish the same from other minerals that look similar in colour and texture.

It must be ensured that the test is done on clean and fresh specimens of the mineral and that there must be no contaminants. Pyrite specimens are usually brass-yellow colour but it leaves a green-black streak when the streak test is done.

A strontium-90 atom that has a lost two electrons has __________ protons, __________ neutrons, and __________ electrons.
MAXImum [283]
<span><em>Answer:</em>
A strontium-90 atom that has a lost two electrons has <u>38</u> protons, <u>52</u> neutrons, and <u>36</u> electrons.

<em>Explanation:
</em>Atomic number<em> of </em>Strontium (Sr) is 38. 
<em>Atomic number = number of protons 
</em>Hence, Strontium has 38 protons.

If the element is in neutral state,
                number of protons = number of electrons. 
Then, neutral Strontium atom should have 38 electrons. 
But the question says Sr has lost 2 electrons. Hence, number of electrons should be 38 - 2 = 36.

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons.

The given mass number is 90. Hence, number of neutrons should be 90 - 38 = 52.</span>

Helen [10]
The choices that should have accompanied this question were:
A. 1 
<span>B. 2 </span>
<span>C. 3 </span>
<span>D. 4 
</span>
My answer is B. 2.
Below is an explanation, I found while doing the research.

<span>Phosphate needs 3 electrons each totaling 6 electrons so each zinc will need to give up 2 electrons.

Phosphate wants to imitate the electron configuration of Argon because noble configurations are the most stable. With P getting the extra electrons the valence shell will be 3s2 3p6, which is the same as Argon. Without the extra electrons, the P valence shell looks like this 3s2 3p3, now you can see why each phosphorus wants 3 more electrons, that will make it 3s2 3p6, just like Argon.</span>
