Answer:

pyrite is a network substance.

It is a chemical compound  in which the atoms are bonded by  bonds in a continuous network extending throughout the material. In a network solid there are no individual molecules. Pyrite is a sulphide group mineral whose chemical formula is FeS2

Its D for example if you have a piece of clay shaped as this rock and you put pressure on one side of the clay the side that you are putting stress on will go down with your hand because it is being held with pressure

ps. i have a hard time explainning things i can map it out in my head but not so muchin words.

What is the function of mRNA (messenger RNA)?
LiRa [457]

Messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules carry the coding sequences for protein synthesis and are called transcripts; ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules form the core of a cell's ribosomes (the structures in which protein synthesis takes place); and transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules carry amino acids to the ribosomes during protein.

Why were you able to see the dna after adding ethanol? what chemical process led to the visible masses of dna?
sergejj [24]
The chemical process is called precipitation. 

Usually, a combination of salt and ethanol are added to a solution in order to allow the DNA to precipitate or come out of solution. 

Polar molecules are those with uneven distribution of charges in their structure, which gives them partial positive and partial negative parts in their structure. In general, the rule in solubility is "like dissolves like," which means that polar or charged solutes can dissolve in a polar solvent. Ionic and polar solutes which are "attracted" to and dissolve in water are called "hydrophilic" (water-loving), while nonpolar solutes, which do not dissolve in water are called "hydrophobic" (water-fearing or hating). 

DNA has a sugar-phosphate backbone in its structure. The phosphate (PO3-) groups of the backbone are negatively charged. Water, being a polar molecule (with the oxygen end being more negatively charged, and the hydrogen ends being more positive), can interact with the negatively-charged phosphate groups of the DNA and allow the DNA to dissolve in water. 

When salt (usually sodium acetate) is added, the positive ions of the salt (e.g. Na+ for sodium acetate) interact with the negatively-charged ends of the phosphate groups (PO3-) in the sugar backbone. This "neutralizes" the charges of the negatively-charged phosphate groups. As a result, the amount of water molecules able to interact with the phosphate groups diminishes, and this lessens the solubility of the DNA. 

However, because water has a relatively high dielectric constant (index of polarity), it would be fairly difficult for the Na+ ions to interact with the PO3- groups. Adding the ethanol, which has a lower dielectric constant than water, makes it easier for the Na+ ions to come together with the PO3- groups, and shields it charge from the water molecules. This makes the DNA molecules less hydrophilic and less soluble. As a result, the DNA molecules come out of solution (through a process called precipitation).
