A Mineral is any occurring, inorganic, crystalline substance ( normally an element or a compound) that possesses a fairly definite chemical composition and a distinctive set of physical properties. They are formed naturally in the Earth, they are usually solid, inorganic, have a crystal structure, and form naturally by geological processes.
A.atomic mass(a)=16
atomic mass(b)=18
b.a and b are isotopes
c.(a)=2,6
(b)=2,6
According to Grahams law the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of it's molecular weight. The rate of diffusion is the measure of rate at which two gases mix. From this law we can say that for the two gases carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, the rate of effusion of carbon monoxide is greater than that of carbon dioxide, this is because carbon monoxide is lighter (28 g) compared to carbon dioxide (44 g).
As glaciers melted at the end of the last Ice Age worldwide sea level increased immensely and river plains were flooded. Glaciers are floating bodies of ice. Ice is frozen water. When glaciers started melting water that had been frozen for decades or centuries was released back into the ocean. That lead to an increase in sea level. This also led to river plains being drowned/flooded. Therefore, the answer is 1 and 2.
