Which of the following best defines a mineral and a rock?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dmitriy789 [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

a. In a mineral the constituent atoms are bonded in a regular, repetitive, internal structure; a rock is a lithified or consolidated aggregate of different mineral grains.

Explanation:

In the internal structure of a mineral the atoms are arranged in an orderly manner, forming shapes that are repeated throughout the structure.

Rocks are a mixture of other materials consolidated in one, which include minerals.

So the minerals have a defined internal structure with atoms in a regular and repeated configuration, while a rock, being a consolidated aggregate, combination of other materials including minerals, does not have a structure that defined

Determine whether each of the molecules below is polar or nonpolar. Tetrahedral C C l 4 CClX4 Nonpolar Tetrahedral C H 3 O H CHX
liraira [26]

Answer:

CCl4 - Nonpolar

CH3OH - polar

NH3 - polar

CS2 - Nonpolar

Explanation:

One important thing that we should know is that polarity has to do with the presence of a resultant dipole moment in a molecule.

Dipole moment is a vector quantity, This means that its direction is also taken into account when discussing the dipole moment of molecules.

Hence, symmetrical molecules such as CS2 and CCl4 are non-polar even though they have polar bonds because their dipoles cancel out(zero resultant dipole moment).

On the other hand, NH3 and CH3OH are non-symmetrical molecules hence they possess an overall dipole moment and are polar molecules.
