I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The action that leads to crystal formation in minerals is that  atoms or molecules form repeating patterns. Minerals are known to have a crystalline structure in which they exhibit short range and long range patterns.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D. The atoms or molecules form repeating patterns.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Minerals often take on specific geometric crystal shapes, such as a cube or other polygon. This is because they are formed with different combinations of atoms or molecules. Different arrangements of these atoms or molecules display different geometric crystal shapes.</u></em>
  • <em><u>The arrangement of these atoms and molecules in the structure of minerals depends on the type of atoms or molecules that make up the mineral.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Crystal structure is specific to each mineral, therefore examining the crystal structure is specific to each mineral.</u></em>

Which of the following elements is going to be the most reactive and why? Nitrogen or Oxygen?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

(C) Oxygen because it has the strongest attractive force and the largest

electronegativity

Explanation:

Oxygen will be most reactive

configuration = 1s^22s^22p^4

As oxygen need only two electrons to complete its octet.

Oxygen will have stronger force than nitrogen as it will tend to pull electrons more to complete its octet. Also along the period electronegativity increases so oxygen has higher electronegativity than nitrogen

For each of the following compounds, identify what type of bonding holds them together.
svet-max [94.6K]

Explanation

NaCl:  Ionic crystal lattice forces

Hg:   Metallic bonding

CO₂:  London dispersion forces

CH₄:  London dispersion forces

Li₂O:  Ionic crystal lattice forces

Ag:  Metallic bonds

Ionic crystal lattice forces are strong electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions arranged into a crystal lattice of ionic compound. NaCl and Li₂O are ionic compounds

London dispersion forces holds the molecules of carbon dioxide and methane. They are weak attractions found between non-polar (and polar) molecules.

Metallic bonds exists between Mercury and Gold atoms. This is due to sea of electrons present.

Consider the following equilibrium: 4KO2(s) + 2H2O(g) 4KOH(s) + 3O2(g) Which of the following is a correct equilibrium expressio
jeka57 [31]
To be able to write correctly the equilibrium expression of a reaction, we need to know the balanced reaction and the phases of the substances in the reaction. When substances are solid, pure liquid they are not included in the expression. We do as follows:

<span>4KO2(s) + 2H2O(g) = 4KOH(s) + 3O2(g)

K = [O2]^3 / [H2O]^2</span>

Explanation:

<u>          Name         </u>  <u>Formula </u>      <u>       Major species     </u> <u>  </u>        

Zinc iodide              ZnI₂            H₂O(ℓ),  I⁻(aq), Zn²⁺(aq),  

Nitrogen(I) oxide     N₂O           H₂O(ℓ),  N₂O(aq)

Sodium nitrite         NaNO₂      H₂O(ℓ),  Na⁺(aq), NO₂⁻(aq)

Glucose                   C₆H₁₂O₆    H₂O(ℓ),  C₆H₁₂O₆(aq)

Nickel(II) iodide       NiI₂            H₂O(ℓ),  I⁻(aq), Ni²⁺(aq)

  • Glucose and nitrogen(I) oxide are covalent compounds. They do not dissociate in solution.
  • The compounds containing metals are ionic. They produce ions in solution.
  • ZnI₂ and NiI₂ produce twice as many iodide ions as metal ions.
