Answer:
Soil contains minerals such as Iron, Zinc, Nitrogen compounds, etc. that are all essential to sustaining life. It also holds water and makes it available for plants to use. Soil also contains ores from which we can extract metals such as iron, copper, gold, and aluminum.

Answer:
Explanation:
While trying to write the chemical formula for a compound (a neutral molecule), one must identify and exchange the charge of the cation with that of the anion to become the subscript of one other. For example
Aluminium oxide has Aluminium (Al) and oxygen (O); since Al has a charge of 3+ (the cation) and O has a charge of 2- (the anion), the compound would have it's charges as Al³⁺O²⁻ and when the charges are exchanged to there subscripts, it would form Al₂O₃; thus there would be two cations of aluminium for every three anions of oxygen in order to have a neutral molecule.
This same explanation can be given to Aluminium sulfite. Aluminium sulfite has Aluminium (Al) and sulfite (SO₃). Al has a charge of 3+ (cation) while sulfite has a charge of 2- (anion), with the compound having it's charges as Al³⁺(SO₃)²⁻ and when the charges are exchanged to there subscripts, it would form Al₂(SO₃)₃ and would thus have 2 cations of aluminium (Al³⁺) for every 3 anions of sulfite (SO₃³⁻) in order to have a neutral molecule.
Period 4 transition element that forms 2+ ion with a half‐filled d sub level is
Manganese (Mn)
What is the half-filled d sub-level?
Transition metals are an interesting and challenging group of elements. They have perplexing patterns of electron distribution that don’t always follow the electron-filling rules. Predicting how they will form ions is also not always obvious.
Transition metals belong to the d block, meaning that the d sublevel of electrons is in the process of being filled with up to ten electrons. Many transition metals cannot lose enough electrons to attain a noble-gas electron configuration. In addition, the majority of transition metals are capable of adopting ions with different charges. Iron, which forms either the Fe2+ or Fe3+ ions, loses electrons as shown below.
Some transition metals that have relatively few d electrons may attain a noble-gas electron configuration. Scandium is an example. Others may attain configurations with a full d sublevel, such as zinc and copper.

Answer:
electrons are fermions, they can only access an energy level if it has not already been occupied by another electron. Thanks to this principle, there is a minimum energy level within the atom and it is not possible for an electron to collapse to the nucleus because it cannot exceed this} threshold.

Answer:
Each oxygen atom is connected to the central O atom with 2 covalent bonds.
Explanation:
Oxygen atoms are connected by two covalent bonds in the oxygen molecule from the Lewis structure, we see that the bond order for O2 is 2 (a double bond) this is clearly seen in the image attached. There are no resonance structures for the oxygen molecule since there are no partial bonds in the molecule, only the two covalent bonds present.
This structure of oxygen shown in the image is its only structure, showing the covalent bonds formed and other non bonding electrons present in the molecule. The octet rule is followed in drawing the structure. Each oxygen atom possesses an octet of electrons on its outermost shell.
Another explanation
A Lewis structure is also called a dot electron structure. A Lewis structure represents all the valence electrons on atoms in a molecule as dots. Lewis structures can be used to represent molecules in which the central atom obeys the octet rule as well as molecules whose central atom does not obey the octet rule.
Sometimes, one Lewis structure does not suffice in explaining the observed properties of a given chemical specie. In this case, we evoke the idea that the actual structure of the chemical specie lies somewhere between a limited number of bonding extremes called resonance or canonical structures.
The canonical structure of the carbonate ion as well as the lewis structure of phosphine is shown in the image attached to this answer.
