Hydrophobic molecules tend to be nonpolar molecules that group together to form micelles rather than be exposed to water. Hydrophobic molecules typically dissolve in nonpolar solvents (e.g., organic solvents).
Answer:A and B
Explanation: orientation and energy is all that matters
Answer: d. have the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron as their structural unit.
Explanation:
Silicates are anions that have both Oxygen and Silicon as the basis of their structure. These two form a tetrahedron type structure that enable them to be useful for a whole lot of things.
Silicates are very abundant on Earth as they comprise around 95% of the Earth's crust as well as the upper mantle which explains why they are mostly found in igneous rocks.
Answer:
Old and inefficient mining smokestacks contaminate the soils around abandoned mine sites.
Explanation:
A smokestack, is a very tall channel commonly used in many instances to release gases produced by combustion processes directly into the air. These high towers are aimed at dispersing the gaseous pollutants over a wider area thereby minimizing their impact.
Old and inefficient smokestack do not contaminate the soil since they are very high towers that discharge gases directly into the atmosphere. Hence they are not part of the sources of soil contamination in abandoned mines.
