What makes pure spring water sweet?

Water contains various chemical compounds, including many trace minerals. The quantity and quality of these elements give water its taste. Calcium makes water sweet and smooth, potassium and silicic acid (from silicates) make it taste refreshing. Magnesium gives it a bitter taste, and sulfuric acid ions add astrigency. These minerals are often removed by water treatment, and chlorine may be added as well, then buffered to remove its taste. Some bottled waters now add back these minerals to give their product a distinctive "natural" flavor.


Does the Dead Sea have viscosity?

Yes. The high salt percentage (~33%) along with the special minerals makes the water a bit oily.


What type of oligarchy is run by a single political party who makes all government decision?

unitary


Is zeolite a mineral?

Zeolite is actually not a mineral, but the name of a large group of minerals, that are silicates with framework structures containing open cavities in the form of channels and cages. This framework makes them excellent filters with a multitude of uses. A few common zeolite minerals are analcime, chabazite, and heulandite. Zeolites of the World by Tschernich is the best reference on these minerals.


What group in the periodic table are the alkali metals?

Alkali metals are found in Group 1 of the periodic table. This group includes elements such as lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. Alkali metals are characterized by having a single electron in their outermost shell, which makes them highly reactive, especially with water. They are typically soft, shiny, and have low densities compared to other metals.

Which makes up most minerals-single elements or compounds?

compounds


Which makes up most minerals-single elements or compound?

Most minerals are compounds, made up of two or more elements. Very few minerals are composed of only a single element, such as native copper or gold. The majority of minerals form through complex chemical reactions involving multiple elements.

What is the relationship between the properties of a compound and the properties of the elements that makes up the compounds?

There is no general relationship.


Why are group 1 and 7 elements are found as compounds?

Group 1 elements are highly reactive metals that readily form compounds to achieve a stable electron configuration. Group 7 elements (halogens) have high electronegativity and easily react with other elements to form compounds. This reactivity makes them commonly found as compounds rather than in their pure elemental form.


What makes a process inorganic?

A process is considered inorganic if it does not involve any living organisms or organic compounds. Inorganic processes typically involve elements, compounds, or reactions that do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds. Examples include the Haber-Bosch process for ammonia synthesis or the formation of minerals through geological processes.


What makes compounds have high melting points?

Because they have interlocking electrons as the different elements' electrons have been 'tangled'


Is mineral water an element mixture or compound?

Mineral water contains other elements or compounds too. They contain elements and compounds like Sodium, magnesium,macro nutrients,calcium and other minerals. So mineral water is a mixture of compounds.


When are compounds not considered a pure substance?

As far as the scientific explanation goes something that is pure is free from every type of impurities. Compounds are the mixture of different substances which makes them containing more then one single material.


What element makes Argon stronger?

The answer depends on what is meant by "stronger". The concept of strength is not normally used in to describe elements of compounds.
