What mineral has the least hardness according to the scale?

Chemistry

The softest mineral in the Mohs Hardness Scale is talc.
Talc is often used in baby powder and corn starch, among other things. Talc cleaves into thin sheets, and it is held together only by van de Waals bonds, which allows these sheets to slip past each other. This gives the mineral its softness and it is often valued as a high-temperature lubricant.

A spectrophotometer measures the transmittance or the absorbance, or both, of a particular wavelength of light after it has pass
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:Answer: The step that is NOT necessary to complete before a cuvette is placed into the spectrophotometer is option B (Write, in ink, either sample or blank on the side of the cuvette to keep track of them)

Explanation: spectrophotometer is an instrument used to measure the light intensity absorbed after being passed through a solution. Before the absorbance of the sample solution, a solvent solution called blank is used for the calibration of the machine and this blank solvent is placed in a cuvette. The procedure usually comes first before the main sample is processed. Therefore there is no need to

Write, in ink, either sample or blank on the side of the cuvette to keep track of them. This is so since sample and blank is not absorbed at the same time by the machine.

Which element has the same number of valence electrons as calcium?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Barium has the same number of valence electrons as calcium

Explanation:

Valence electrons is the number of electrons of an atom on the outer shell.

Those valence electrons can participate in the formation of a chemical bond (if the outer shell is not closed); in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.

<u>Calcium</u> is an atom, part of group 2, called the alkaline earth metals. The alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons.

<u>Sulfur </u>is part of a group 16, called the chalcogens or oxygen family. Those atoms have 6 valence electrons. They can form a bound with atoms of group 2 such as calcium, but do not have the same number of valence electrons.

<u>Potassium</u> is part of group 1, called the alkali metals or lithium family. Those atoms have 1 valence electrons. That means  Potassium do not have the same number of valence electrons like calcium.

<u>Neon</u> is part of group 18, the noble gasses. Those are stable atoms, which means they have 8 valence electrons. They do not have the same number of valence electrons like Calcium.

<u>Barium</u> an atom, part of group 2, called the alkaline earth metals. The alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons. Calcium is also part of this group.

This means barium has the same number of valence electrons as Calcium.
