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.

Sodium has an atomic number of 11 and has a net charge of 0. When sodium combines with chlorine, it has a net charge of +1. Why?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of sodium is 11 and its electronic configuration is 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{1}.

In order to gain stability, sodium loses one electron and hence it forms a positive ion (Na^{+}).

Thus, we can conclude that when sodium combines with chlorine, it has a net charge of +1 because sodium loses a negative electron when forming chemical bonds.

How would you figure the number of neutrons in an atom?
Sonbull [250]
<span>Mass Number = (Atomic Number) + (Number of Neutrons) so you solve for the Number of Neutrons and you get:
Number of Neutrons = (Mass number) - (Atomic Number) 

Mass Number equals protons plus neutrons, round atomic weight to nearest whole number
Atomic Number equals number of Protons</span>
