Answer:
.
Explanation:
Based on the electron configuration of this ion, count the number of electrons in this ion in total:
.
Each electron has a charge of 
.
Atoms are neutral and have 
charge. However, when an atom gains one extra electron, it becomes an ion with a charge of . Likewise, when that ion gains another electron, the charge on this ion would become 
.
The ion in this question has a charge of . In other words, this ion is formed after its corresponding atom gains two extra electrons. This ion has 
electrons in total. Therefore, the atom would have initially contained 
electrons. The atomic number of this atom would be 
.
Refer to a modern copy of the periodic table. The element with an atomic number of is sulphur with atomic symbol 
. To denote the ion, place the charge written backwards ("
" for a charge of ) as the superscript of the atomic symbol:
.
I believe that the answer is 12 because there is already 3 O molecules and since its in parentheses with 3 outside it that means that there are 3 of those CO molecules meaning that for every 1 CO there will be 3 O’s so 3, four times Is 12
Answer:
A. Mafic; iron and/or magnesium
Explanation:
Let's find the answer by naming some minerals and their chemistry.
Mafic minerals are dark-colored whereas felsic minerals are light-colored, thats way mafic rocks are dark-colored because they are mainly composed by mafic minerals and the other way around for felsic rocks.
But remember that mafic minerals as amphiboles, pyroxenes or biotites, involve in their chemical structure iron and/or magnesium. Although calcium and sodium can be incorporated in amphiboles and clinopyroxenes, they are not involved in orthopyroxenes and biotites. On the other hand, although potassium is involved in biotite and in some extent in amphiboles, this element is not involved in pyroxenes.
So in conclusion, mafic minerals are usually dark-colored because they involve iron and/or magnesium in their chemical structures.
