Based on the properties of minerals, the following are true:

Fluorite can de distinguished from quartz based on Color and Hardness.
Solubility is not a property of minerals.

<h3>Properties of minerals</h3>

Hardness - minerals can be differentiated based their resistance to be scratched.
Cleavage - the way minerals break up.
Color - minerals has different colors but this is not often a reliable property.

Flourite and Quartz have different colors and hardness with Quartz being harder than flourite.

In conclusion, solubility is not a mineral property.

Q: How many of the molecules shown contain only one covalent bond?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

cl2 - 1 bond

HCl.- 1 bond

N2 - 3 bond

o2 - 2 bond

Cl requires one electron to complete it's octave so it share it's one electron with other chlorine and make a single covalent bond
H has one electron and Cl requires one so both form one single bond
N requires 3 electrons so it form 3 bonds with other N
oxygen requires 2 electrons so it forms 2 bond with other oxygen

Olenka [21]

Really, both David and Susan are right; they were using the term "pure" in different ways. David likely meant "pure honey" in the sense that the honey was not altered or had any additives. Susan used pure as in a "pure substance" in chemistry. Susan is also right, because honey is a medley of carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, and vitamins and minerals. Chemically, honey is not a pure substance- it's a mixture.
