The properties of minerals that might help Jimmy and his partners to identify the sample other than Hardness (scratch test) are:
1. Color
2. Crystalline Structure
3. Cleavage or Fracture
4. Transparency
5. Tenacity
The three main layers are the core, the mantle, and the crust. The core is divided into two parts, the liquid outer core, and the solid inner core. Together it is 3450 km thick. The mantle is 2100 km thick, and the crust is 35-70 km thick. Hope I helped!
B: CaO
Because Calcium is a Metal and Oxygen is a Non-Metal. Ionic bonds are only formed with a Metal and a Non-Metal element.
E, 63% of the value. I forget the rationale behind it but I learnt that in engineering. 90% confident for that answer.
1. Heat raises the temperature.
2. It increases volume.
3. It changes state.
4. Brings about chemical action.
5. Changes physical properties.
