I think its A. but i'm not 100% sure.
The softest mineral in the Mohs Hardness Scale is talc.
Talc is often used in baby powder and corn starch, among other things. Talc cleaves into thin sheets, and it is held together only by van de Waals bonds, which allows these sheets to slip past each other. This gives the mineral its softness and it is often valued as a high-temperature lubricant.
There are three different types of intermolecular forces in terms of strength. They are (strongest to weakest) hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole and Van der Waals' forces.
Answer:
Try using Ptable or chemicalaid
Explanation:
Ptable is a great website that shows you a dynamic periodic table. It can show you which elements are Halogens, Alkali metals, transition metals, noble gases, and etc!
Chemicalaid is a nice website to find out more information about specific elements, it also lists every element on the periodic table.
An Ionic bond is when you have a metal and a nonmetal element bonded together. In this kind of bonds, the metal atom takes electrons from the nonmetal. on other words, this bond involves the gaining and losing of electrons. The atom that receives the electrons becomes an anion (negatively charged ion) and the one that loses them becomes the cation (positively charged ion)
A covalent bond is a bond created between two nonmetals element. In here, both atoms share the electrons.
Both bonds involve interaction between atoms.
