Solids are packed together closely, liquids are farther apart but still relatively close, and gases are very far apart with lots of space.
Grinding solid crystals increase the rate of dissolving for a solid solute in water because smaller crystals have more surface area. The solubility of a substance depends on the physical and chemical properties of the solute and solvent as well as the temperature, pressure and the pH of the solution. For example increase in temperature increases the rate at which a solute dissolves in a solvent.
The answer is D, because gems are usually not mettallic
Other predators? or other factors that affect the food chain ie extinction of whatever source the rabbits feed off of
