The way that you can determine what type of mineral it is by checking their physical property and doing different methods to determine what type of mineral it is.

Do a scratch test on a ceramic plate to determine the streak color. Use Mohs hardness scale to determine the hardness. Try to identify its cleavage. Determine if the mineral has any kind of shine or luster. Find out if it is magnetic, if it has an odor. Color, alone, usually is not going to be enough to identify by.

why is it much easier for group 14 elements to become stable by sharing instead of transferring electrons9

Effectus [21]

Because they are closer to the farther end of the periodic table. Since they are closer to the farther end they don't want to give away their electrons because it would be easier for them to just steal them from other atoms.

Given the equation representing a reversible reaction:

tester [92]

Answer:

- Acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and hydronium ion (H₃O⁺)

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, based on the acid-base theory which states that acids are known as H⁺ donors, if we consider the direct reaction:

$CH_3COOH(aq) + H_2O \rightarrow CH_3COO^-(aq) + H_3O^+(aq)$

It is clear that the acetic acid is the first H⁺ donor as it losses one H⁺ to turn into the acetate ion. Moreover, if we consider the inverse reaction:

$CH_3COO^-(aq) + H_3O^+(aq)\rightarrow CH_3COOH(aq) + H_2O$
