How are small and big minerals created

Chemistry

Large minerals are created from magma, when magma rises to the Earth's surface it cools slowly. As the magma cools, solid rocks form. Rocks are mixtures of minerals. Granite is a common rock that forms when magma cools. It contains the minerals quartz, plagioclase feldspar, and potassium feldspar. The different colored speckles in the granite are the crystals of the different minerals. The mineral crystals are large enough to see because the magma cools slowly, which gives the crystals time to grow.
Small minerals are created from lava, since lava is on the Earth's surface so it cools quickly compared to magma on Earth. Hence, rocks form quickly and mineral crystals are very small. Sometimes, lava cools so hastily that crystals cannot form at all, forming a black glass called obsidian. Because obsidian is not crystalline, it is not a mineral.
NOTE: Minerals (and gems) are crystals.

Provide the name(s) for the constitutional isomer(s) with the molecular formula C7H16 that have an unbranched chain. If there is
Tema [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Isomerism is the occurrence of two or more compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures. Isomers with the same molecular formula and belonging to the same homologous series tends to have similar chemical properties but slightly different physical properties as a result of their constitutional (structural differences).

Thus,as the number of carbon atoms in a molecule increases , the number of isomer also increases. In the given question C7H16 is known as heptane which have nine (9) possible constitutional (structural) isomers.

The main objective is to provide the names for the constitutional  isomers  with the molecular formula C7H16.

In  the attached file below; we've shown the possible isomers of heptane (C7H16). and we've identify them by naming them.

In whare atoms in group 1 and atoms in group 18 different?
sdas [7]

Group 1 contains metals while group 18 contains noble gases.

So group 1 is different from group 18 as they both contains different types of atoms as group 1 contains metals while group 18 contains noble gases.

There is 1 valence shell electron in group 1 , they are highly reactive while valence shell of group 18 is fully filled and they are least reactive .

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer: The bookkeeper makes cash deposits and records journal entries related to cash, while the treasurer prepares the bank reconciliation.

The financial secretary on the hand is in charge saving cash income and withdrawal of cash from an organization, this is done with the organization's accountant approval.
