What is a naturally occurring, solid mass of mineral or mineral-like matter?

Firdavs [7]

Rock is a combination of two or more minerals, and it does not possess any specific chemical composition. It is present naturally in the environment. Some examples of rocks are limestone, granite, etc.,Limestone may contain minerals like calcite and aragonite. Each mineral has a specific chemical composition with a well defined crystalline structure.

Therefore, the correct option would be a. rock as rock is the naturally occurring solid mass made up of different types of minerals.

What determines an object’s ability to float?

Nezavi [6.7K]

Simply put, density is how tightly “stuff” is packed into a defined space.

For example, a suitcase jam-packed with clothes and souvenirs has a high density, while the same suitcase containing two pairs of underwear has low density. Size-wise, both suitcases look the same, but their density depends on the relationship between their mass and volume.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
Volume is the amount of space that an object takes up in three dimensions.

Density is calculated using the following equation: Density = mass/volume or D = m/v.

If something is heavy for its size, it has a high density. If an object is light for its size it has a low density.

The relative densities of an object and the liquid it is placed in determine whether that object will sink or float.

Answer:

You should follow these steps:

Count each type of atom in reactants and products.

Place coefficients, as needed, in front of the symbols or formulas to increase the number of atoms or molecules of the substances.

Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the equation is balanced.

When molten sulfur reacts with chlorine gas, a vile-smelling orange liquid forms that has an empirical formula of SCl. The struc

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The structure is shown below.

Explanation:

The formal charge (FC) is the charge that is more close to the actual charge in the real molecules and ions. It can be calculated based on the number of valence electrons (V), the shared electrons (S) and the electrons in the lone pairs (L) by the equation:

FC = V - (L + S/2)

Sulfur is in group 16 of the periodic table, so it has 6 valence electrons, and chlorine is from group 17 of the periodic table, and so it has 7 valence electrons. Chlorine can share only one electron, so it is stable. Sulfur can expand its octet (because it's from the third period) and can have more than 8 electrons when stable.

The possible formulas, from the empiric one, are:

SCl, S₂Cl₂, and S₃Cl₃.

To have FC = 0, chlorine must done only one bond, because S = 2, and L = 6, so:

FC = 7 - (6 + 2/2) = 0

So, it can not be the central atom of a structure. In the SCl, it will hav only a simple bond, so for sulfur, S = 2, and L = 4 (only the lone pairs are counted)

FC = 6 - (4+ 2/2) = +1

For S₂Cl₂, the two sulfurs must be bonded to a simple bond, and each one to one chlorine, thus, for both od them S = 4, and L = 4. so

FC = 6 - (4 + 4/2) = 0

So, it is the correct structure. The lewis structure represents the bonds by lines and the lone pairs of electrons by dots, and it is shown below.
