Answer:

Color-Color in minerals is caused by the absorption, or lack of absorption, of various wavelengths of light. The color of light is determined by its wavelength. ... Some elements have electrons that absorb certain wavelengths or colors.

Streak-The streak of a mineral is the color of the powder produced when it is dragged across an un-weathered surface. ... Small amounts of an impurity that strongly absorbs a particular wavelength can radically change the wavelengths of light that are reflected by the specimen, and thus change the apparent color.

Hardness-The hardness of minerals is diagnostic because the hardness is determined by the strength of bonds and the structure of the mineral lattice. Hardness is basically the stress required to create and grow extended lattice defects such as micro-fractures, stress twins, and dislocations.

Cleavage-The tendency of a mineral to break along flat planar surfaces as determined by the structure of its crystal lattice. These two-dimensional surfaces are known as cleavage planes and are caused by the alignment of weaker bonds between atoms in the crystal lattice.

Answer: I2 is the Oxidant; while the 2S2O3(-2) is the reductant.

Explanation:

An Oxidant is any substance that oxidizes, or receives electrons from, another; in so doing, it becomes reduced in oxidation number.

A Reductant thus exactly the opposite.

Note that the equation provided shows that Iodine (I2) received an electron to become NEGATIVELY CHARGED:

I2 --> 2I-.

The oxidation number reduced from 0 to -1.

In contrast, the oxidation number of 2S2O3(-2) increases from -4 to -2.

Thus, I2 is the Oxidant; while the 2S2O3(-2) is the reductant.

consider an atom having four distinct neergy levels. if an electron is able to make transitions between, any two levels, how man
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

6 different frequencies

Explanation:

From energy level 1 to 2 is one frequency, from energy level 1 to 3 is one frequency and From energy level 1 to 4 is one frequency. So, we have a total of 3 frequencies for transition from energy level 1.

From energy level 2 to 3 is one frequency and from energy level 2 to 4 is one frequency. So, we have a total of 2 frequencies for transition from energy level 2.

From energy level 3 to 4 is one frequency.

So we have a total of 3 + 2 + 1 different frequencies = 6 different frequencies.

Note that the reverse process for each step produces the same frequency as the step in consideration.

A sample of aluminum is placed in a 25-ml graduated cylinder containing 10.0 ml of water. the level of the water rises to 18.0 m
OLga [1]
To determine the mass of the sample, first find the volume difference after and before the aluminum was placed, the volume change is equal to the volume of the submerged object, in this case aluminum.

Then knowing volume of aluminum and the density of it, we can solve for the mass.

D = m/v

Dv = m

2.7 g/ml • 8 ml = 21.6 grams.
