<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

4) size

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

The mineral’s physical properties are used in identifying minerals and are determined by its chemical composition and crystal structure.
<u>Streak</u> is the color of the mineral in powdered form and since it is a more accurate illustration of the mineral’s color, its is a more reliable property of minerals than color for identification.
<u>Hardness</u> is one of the better properties of minerals to use for identifying a mineral. Hardness is a measure of the mineral’s resistance to scratching.
<u>Density</u> may be used to identify minerals. It is used to describe the amount of matter in a certain amount of space. Substances that have more matter packed into a given space have higher densities.

How many of the following postulates of Dalton's atomic theory are still scientifically accepted? I. All atoms of the same eleme

Neko [114]

<h2>The required "options are (II), (III), and (IV)".</h2>

Explanation:

Postulates of Dalton's atomic theory which are scientifically accepted are:

Atoms are indestructible.
Compounds are combinations of different atoms.
A chemical reaction changes the way atoms are grouped together.

Postulates of Dalton's atomic theory which are not accepted scientifically are:

All atoms of the same elements are identical.

The theory states that the atoms of the same element are identical in every aspect but it is now scientifically proved that the same element should differ in their mass which is known as isotopes.

Write the Iconic Bond to Metals

Nutka1998 [239]

<u>Answer:</u> The ionic compound formed is magnesium chloride having formula $MgCl_2$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ionic compound is defined as the compound which is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.

The atom which looses the electron is known as electropositive atom and the atom which gains the electron is known as electronegative atom. This bond is usually formed between a metal and a non-metal.

Magnesium is the 12th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

This element will loose 2 electrons to form $Mg^{2+}$ ion

Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5$

This element will gain 1 electron to form $Cl^{-}$ ion

So, for every 1 atom of magnesium, 2 atoms of chlorine are required. Thus, the chemical formula becomes $MgCl_2$

Hence, the ionic compound formed is magnesium chloride having formula $MgCl_2$
