Rock is a combination of two or more minerals, and it does not possess any specific chemical composition. It is present naturally in the environment. Some examples of rocks are limestone, granite, etc.,Limestone may contain minerals like calcite and aragonite. Each mineral has a specific chemical composition with a well defined crystalline structure.

Therefore, the correct option would be a. rock as rock is the naturally occurring  solid mass made up of different types of minerals.

Why is sound able to travel faster through a solid than a gas?
noname [10]

Answer:

Sound travels more quickly through solids than through liquids and gases because the molecules of a solid are closer together and, therefore, can transmit the vibrations (energy) faster.

What is the hybridization and shape for an XeF6 2+ molecule?
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Xe:[Kr]4d¹⁰5(sp³d³)₆⁺² => Octahedral Geometry (AX₆)⁺²

Explanation:

Xe:[Kr]4d¹⁰(5s²5p₋₁²p₀²p₁²5d₋₂d₋₁d₀)⁺² => Xe[Kr]5(sp³d³)₆²

Ca. #Valence e⁻ = Xe + 6F - 2e⁻ = 1(8) + 6(7) - 2 = 48

Ca. #Substrate e⁻ = 6F = 6(8) = 48

#Nonbonded free pairs e⁻ = (V - S)/2 = (48 - 48)/2 = 0 free pairs

#Bonded pairs e⁻ = 6F substrates = 6 bonded pairs

BPr + NBPr = 6 + 0 = 6 e⁻ pairs => Geometry => [AX₆]⁺² => Octahedron

Xe:[Kr]4d¹⁰(5s²5p₋₁²p₀²p₁²5d₋₂d₋₁d₀)⁺² => Xe[Kr]5(sp³d³)₆⁺²    

XeF₆⁺² => 6(sp³d³) hybrid orbitals => Octahedral Geometry (AX₆)
