Answer:
An acid is a substance or compound that releases hydrogen ions (H+) when in solution. In a strong acid, such as hydrochloric acid (HCl), all hydrogen ions (H+), and chloride ions (Cl-) dissociate (separate) when placed in water and these ions are no longer held together by ionic bonding.
B) Most metals conduct heat readily. In pure elemental forms, they
neither have basic or acidic properties. Other properties include
malleability, high melting points, high densities, and electric
conduction.
Answer:
Explanation:
The temperature and pressure on the earth's surface is lower than that below the earth's surface. Generally, temperature and pressure increases as you move/dig down the earth's surface. This increase in temperature and pressure causes the earth's sediment (below the earth surface) to form a compact solid rock - this process is known as lithification.
Answer:
No, coal is not a mineral because coal is made of dead plants
Explanation:
Coal is formed when dead plant matter decays. Minerals are chemical compounds.
Minerals are not formed from plants or animals
