Answer: It always contains certain elements.

It always contains elements in definite proportions.

Explanation:

A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid that has a crystal structure and a definite chemical composition

All the minerals are Naturally occurring i.e. they can not be man made. They are inorganic i.e. it can never come from something living. They occur as Solids i.e they have definite shape and volume. They have Crystal structure i.e they are formed by repeating units. They have definite chemical composition i.e they are made up of certain elements and the elements will always be present in a fixed ratio by mass.

<h2>Answer:It always contains certain elements,It always contains elements in definite proportions.,It cannot contain atoms from more than one element.</h2>

Explanation:

The mineral need not occur always in a pure form.On purification we get the exact chemical composition.

The mineral always has a definite chemical composition which means the number of elements and types of elements in the mineral does not change.

Since the mineral has definite composition,the elements in the mineral has definite proportions.

The mineral can be a compound.So,there can be atoms from more than one element.

Rank the states of matter from the LEAST amount of energy to MOST

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The ranking of matter from the LEAST amount of energy to MOST amount of energy is;

B. Solid, Liquid, Gas

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the particles that make of matter depends on the temperature of the particles and the particles are constantly vibrating

Solid state (Least amount of energy)

In the solid state, the matter is held in solid (rigid) crystal lattice and the particles are rigidly located next to other adjacent particles and stacked up layer by layer

Liquid state (Intermediate amount of energy)

As the temperature of the particles are increased by heating, the particles (atoms and molecules) gain more kinetic energy and their vibration is increased which on further heating, leads to the breaking of the lattice bond of the solid state and the particles are then readjusted to exist side by side rather than being stacked on one another and the assume the liquid state

Upon further heating the particles in the liquid acquire more energy and are and rather than exist side-by-side, they are able to exist as individual particles in the gaseous form

Gaseous state (Most amount of energy)

From the kinetic theory of matter, the molecules of matter in the gaseous state contains enough energy which is more than the intermolecular forces of attraction such that the particles are able to move and occupy the entire volume of the container in which it is placed

Therefore, the correct option is Solid, Liquid, Gas.

Answer:

Skilled Scientist level from Rubric: The student clearly explained the purpose of the lab, showing critical thinking skills.

Procedure:

Investigate each of the three components of cell theory to investigate from the corkboard in the virtual lab:

All organisms are composed of cells.

Cells come from existing cells.

Cells are the basic unit of life.

For each section, record your observations below.

Complete your report and submit it for grading.Data and Observations (27 points):

Skilled Scientist level from Rubric: Data and/or observations were recorded accurately for each section; observations include important details, such as observable detail when appropriate.

Conclusion :

Use your data to answer the following questions in your own words. Use complete sentences, and be as detailed as possible.

Skilled Scientist level from Rubric: The student demonstrated excellent critical thinking and problem solving skills when answering the conclusion questions. Answers and ideas were expanded with unique details that were novel and showed creative thinking.

How did scientists discover that all living things are made of cells?

HINT: Review Investigation #1 for on this question.

How did Pasteur’s experiment with the flasks disprove the idea that living things could just appear or come from nonliving things like water and air?

HINT: Review Investigation #2 for on this question.

Why are nutrients needed for living things? Describe the difference between living and nonliving things.

HINT: Review Investigation #3 for on this question.
