Particles as small as atoms exist.
Answer:
Physical properties are controlled by the mineral's chemical composition and atomic structure, this combination is distinct in each mineral.
Explanation:
Hello,
Since the physical properties depend on the mineral's chemical composition and the atomic structure (molecular arrangement), we can distinguish different minerals by measuring out hardness, cleavage and other properties in order to analyze their behavior under several conditions and subsequently use them in a particular application.
Best regards.
When compounds form, the atoms that bonded get a stable arrangement of electrons.
Compounds form because their atoms get a more stable arrangement than they had in the reactants.
A stable arrangement is a <em>complete octet</em> of eight electrons in the valence shell

The problem can solved using the heat equation which is expressed as:
H = mCΔT
where H is the energy absorbed or released, m is the mass of the substance, C is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature.
2208 J = 41 g x 4.18 J/g·°C x ( T - 24 °C)
T = 36.88 °C
