Answer:
The corect answer is c) naturally occurring; solids
Explanation:
Minerals exists as solid substances in nature consisting of one or more element chemically combined together formiming compounds with definite composition. As mentioned earlier single elements can form minerals and examples of single element mineral are Silver, Carbon and Gold which are found in nature in their pure form and are mined.
Minerals are normally found in rocks, which may contain one ore more different types of minerals
The following statements from the paragraph are true. Protons have a mass that contributes significantly to the mass of the atomic nucleus. Neutrons have a mass that contributes significantly to the mass of the atomic nucleus. Electrons have a very low mass and are not found in the nucleus but instead are found in surrounding orbits.
Look at the periodic table to find the charge on atoms.
Magnesium is +2 and Nitrogen is -3. Since there are two nitrogen charge 2*-3 = -6 there needs to be 3 Mg then (3*2+ = 6+) to pair with the two nitrogen.
3 Mg(+2) + 2 N(-3) = Mg3N2
Kinetic energy is associated with the motion of an object.
Since the object is at rest on the ground, its velocity is zero.
Since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of velocity, kinetic energy of the ball on the ground is zero.
