The definition of a gem is "a precious stone, cut and polished for jewelry. They are all minerals. Some highly desirable gemstones may not be suitable for jewelry, yet be very collectible, like sphene. Others, like those in the corundum family, are prized for color and hardness, like emeralds and diamonds. Further, some common minerals, when polished, make beautiful pieces. With all that said, i woukd go with rarer.

Read the following hypothesis about why a chicken bone becomes bendy after being soaked in vinegar:
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

B. observing that a bone placed in a beaker of acid becomes bendy

Explanation:

The hypothesis suggests that when chicken bones are placed in vinegar, they become bendy due to the loss of calcium in their bones.

Calcium is identified as the ossifying material that strengthens the bone. When the acid that makes up the vinegar comes in contact with it, calcium is removed from the bone.

Now we know that calcium has capabilities of reacting with acids.

This suggests that if we also place the bone in an acid, they will bend due to reaction of calcium in the bones with the acid.
