Once again rocks and/or minerals

Chemistry
2 answers:
emmasim [6.3K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Luster, hardness , colour , clevage and magnetism

Explanation:

1. Luster makes sure the light is reflected by the mineral.

2. On the 10-point Mohs scale, which is basically a scratch test, hardness is measured. Take an unidentified mineral and scrape it like a fingernail with an object of known hardness.

3. Zurite, for instance, is often a deep blue, and malachite is gray.

4. In minerals that appear to divide along one or more flat surfaces or planes, cleavage may be observed.

5. Magnetite, for instance, has a heavy pull that even weak magnets can draw. But there is only a poor attraction to other minerals, particularly chromite (a black oxide) and pyrrhotite (a bronze sulfide.)

Answer:

you can classify a mineral by its appearance and other properties. The presence of a mineral is defined by the color and luster, and the color of the powdered mineral is described by the band. Every mineral has a distinctive density. To compare the hardness of rocks, the Mohs Hardness Scale is used.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST <br> Explain why HS2 has a bent geometry, while BeH2 has a linear geometry.
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

H2S has a bent geometry, while BeH2 has a linear geometry because: presence of lone pair in H2S

Absence of Lone pair in BeH2

Explanation:

<u>Structure of H2S :</u>

Atomic number of S = 16 = 1s(2 )2s(2) 2p(6) <u>3s(2 )3p(4)</u>

Outer most shell has 6 electron

Valence electron (Involved in bonding) = 6

Out of these  6 electrons ,

2 electrons are formed in bonding with Hydrogen

Rest 4  are non- bonding  and present as lone - pair

H2S exist - sp3 hybridisation

There are 2-Lone pair on S in H2S (look at the image attached)

<u>Structure of H2S :</u>

Atomic number of Be = 4 = 1s(2 ) 2s(2)

Valence electron (Involved in bonding) = 2

These 2- electron  are involved in bonding with two Hydrogen and form liner shape.*Form sp - hybridized

Hence shape is linear because it has non - lone pair.

VSEPR : <u><em>According to this theory lone pair causes repulsion to the bond and cause unstability in the molecule.</em></u>

<u><em>Hence the bonds shifts away from lone pairs . This is why H-S bonds in H2S  shifts way from lone pair</em></u>

A sample of a hydrocarbon is found to contain 7.48g carbon and 2.52g hydrogen. What is the empirical
Aliun [14]

Answer:

CH₄

Explanation:

To determine the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon, we need to follow a series of steps.

Step 1: Determine the mass of the compound

The mass of the compound is equal to the sum of the masses of the elements that form it.

m(CxHy) = mC + mH = 7.48 g + 2.52 g = 10.00 g

Step 2: Calculate the percent by mass of each element

%C = mC / mCxHy × 100% = 7.48 g / 10.00 g × 100% = 74.8%

%H = mH / mCxHy × 100% = 2.52 g / 10.00 g × 100% = 25.2%

Step 3: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element

C: 74.8/12.01 = 6.23

H: 25.2/1.01 = 24.95

Step 4: Divide both numbers by the smallest one, i.e. 6.23

C: 6.23/6.23 = 1

H: 24.95/6.23 ≈ 4

The empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is CH₄.

What are the merits of Mendeleev's periodic table? ​
german

Answer:

This law states that the physical and chemical properties of the elements are the periodic function of their atomic masses. This means that when the elements are arranged in the order of their increasing atomic masses, the elements with similar properties recur at regular intervals.
