What is true about stable air?

A force that resists motion?
friction resistance opposition impedance These all have a slightly different connotation and depend on the type of force under consideration.
What is the name of the force that resist motion?
Friction resists motion.
What type of solid is silicon dioxide?
Also called common silica, it may exist in crystalline form as quartz, or as an amorphous solid (or supercooled liquid) called glass. Physically it is quite durable, hard and resists high temperatures but exhibits a brittle fracture. Chemically it is covalently bonded, fairly inert, resists strong alkalis and most acids except Hydrofluoric Acid and only very very sparingly soluble in water.
What is the melting point of inconel 625?
Inconel Alloy 625 A nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy with an addition of niobium that acts with the molybdenum to stiffen the alloy's matrix and thereby provide high strength without a strengthening heat treatment. The alloy resists a wide range of severely corrosive environments and is especially resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion. Used in chemical processing, aerospace and marine engineering, pollution-control equipment, and nuclear reactors
Quartz resists chemical weathering more than any other common mineral?
Quartz is a mineral that is the most resistant to chemical weathering. Its resistance is due to the structure of the grains that comprise it.
What is weather resistant metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rock that resists chemical and mechanical weathering, for example, the rock gneiss.
How measure of how a mineral resists scratching?
hardness
Why is granite used for headstones?
It resists both mechanical and chemical weathering quite well. Alternatives like limestone and sandstone noticeably degrade over a short period of time.
What is it called when a mineral resists being scratched?
Hardness.
Is a measure of how well a mineral resists scratching.?

Blank' is a measure of how well a mineral resists scratching?
Hardness.
What minerals make quartz so resistant to being broken down?
Quartz is a mineral whose atomic elements are bound together tightly, resisting weathering. In general, oxides of silicon form quartz. It's not greately different to window glass, and we know that glass greatly resists weathering.
What is the chemical substance that resists change in pH?
You think to chemical buffers.
How well a mineral resists scratching is called its what?
It is just simply hardness.
What is the best quality stone veneer?
One which resists weathering, erosion, and staining, like granite.
