Answer:

hardness-Hardness is the ability of a material to resist deformation

luster-the way light interacts with the surface of a crystal

color-the quality of an object or substance with respect to light reflected by the object

streak- the color of the powder produced when it is dragged across an un-weathered surface.

specif gravity-the density of that object divided by the density of water cleavage -the tendency of a mineral to break along smooth planes

fracture-any separation in a geologic formation

tenacity-refers to a mineral's toughness or resistance to breaking or being deformed.

lol sorry that took awhile

Name some ways that friction can be helpful and some ways it is harmful?

jeka57 [31]

Friction is helpful:
- We use it to brake for cars
- We use it to fly planes
-We wouldn't be able to turn a door knob without friction ( Our hand would just slide off it)

Friction harmful:
-Our cars would get much better gas mileage without tire and air friction
- There would be no skinned knees if friction didn't exist (Like when your skating or football)
- We could do some pretty cool dance moves without friction
- Our shoes would last longer without friction

What is the most stable resonance structure if oxygen is the central atom in the CON– ion?

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The most stable resonance structure shown in fig (II).

Explanation:

Given that,

If oxygen is the central atom in the CON– ion

We know that,

Resonance :

The movement of electron is called resonance.

If the electronegativity is more of element then the element is more stable.

We need to find the most stable resonance structure

According to figure,

Electronegativity of N is more than C

So, N is the more stable in fig (II).

Hence, The most stable resonance structure shown in fig (II).

Using the periodical table, choose the more reactive nonmetal ca or ra

Bad White [126]

Radium is by far the more reactive non metal. It is in a group of elements that are extremely radioactive and unstable.
