Answer:
Calcite
Explanation:
The chart shows that calcite is higher than gypsum, but is lower than apatite. Therefore meaning that it can scratch gypsum But not able to the same to apatite.
When a substance melts, the solid gains heat, and the motion of the particles increases (particles move faster in liquid form than in solid form).
Answer:
Table salt (the iodine isn't important) consists of much smaller particles than rock salt and therefore has a much higher ratio of surface area to mass. Since chemical reactions occur at surfaces,the smaller table salt particles will dissolve far more quickly than the larger rock salt.
Explanation:
Answer:
1.) Yes, Cs₂S
2.) Yes, MgF₂
3.) Yes, MgS
4.) No
Explanation:
Nonmetals are located on the right side of the periodic table in the p-block. It is safe to assume that all the other elements are metals.
Ionic bonds form between a metal and nonmetal. When determining the empirical formula, the cation (the element losing electrons) is written before the anion (the element gaining electrons). The charges can be balanced by modifying the quantity of element.
1.) Cs₂S
-----> Cesium = metal and Sulfur = nonmetal
-----> Cesium = Cs⁺
-----> Sulfur = S²⁻
2.) MgF₂
-----> Magnesium = metal and Fluorine = nonmetal
-----> Magnesium = Mg²⁺
-----> Fluorine = F⁻
3.) MgS
-----> Magnesium = metal and Sulfur = nonmetal
-----> Magnesium = Mg²⁺
-----> Sulfur = S²⁻
4.) Both cesium and strontium are metals
