A mineral is a naturally occurring , solid, crystalline substance with a specific chemical composition. Minerals are usually inorganic and are formed by ionic, covalent or metallic bonding. Ionic bonds are the dominant type of bonds in mineral strictures. 90% of all minerals are ionic compounds. Minerals bonded by covalent bonds are strong, for example carbon bonded together to form diamond. Metallic bonds are a type of covalent bonds where the atoms have a strong tendency to lose electrons and pack together as cations.

Answer:
Explanation:
Ionic compounds are formed by combining a metal and a nonmetal.
Molecular compounds are formed by two or more nonmetals.
Answer:
The half-life of a radioisotope describes the amount of time it takes for said isotope to decay to one-half the original amount present in the sample.
Nitrogen-13, because it has a half-life of ten minutes, will experience two half-lives over the course of the twenty minute period. This means that 25% of the isotope will remain after this.
0.25 x 128mg = 32mg
32mg of Nitrogen-13 will remain after 20 minutes.
