List the five characteristics a substance must have to be a mineral. Explain why coal and a glass marble or not minerals.?
The five characteristics of a mineral are: naturally occurring, inorganic, solid, definite chemical composition, and orderly internal structure/crystalline structure. Coal is organic in origin, derived from plant material, making it not inorganic as required by the mineral definition. A glass marble is manufactured by humans and lacks a naturally occurring origin, so it does not meet the criteria of being naturally occurring.

Explain how it is possible for Bromine to have a mass of 79.9 amu on the periodic table but NOT have a naturally occurring isotope with a mass of 80 amu?
The mass listed on the periodic table for an element is a weighted average of the masses of its naturally occurring isotopes, taking into account their relative abundance. In the case of bromine, its mass is 79.9 amu because it includes the isotopes with masses slightly below and slightly above 80 amu. It is possible for an element’s average mass to not match any individual isotope due to the varying abundances of its isotopes.
The composition of a mixture can vary unlike a compound explain why?
A mixture is a physical combination of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded, allowing their composition to vary. This is because mixtures retain the properties of their individual components and can be easily separated through physical means, while compounds are chemically bonded in fixed ratios, resulting in consistent composition and properties.
Explain How the leaf is a organic matter?
Leaves are considered organic matter because they are made up of living or once-living organisms that contain carbon. They are composed of organic compounds such as cellulose, lignin, and chlorophyll, which are essential for the growth and function of plants. When leaves decompose, they break down into organic materials that enrich the soil and provide nutrients for new plant growth, completing the organic matter cycle.
Explain the meaning of the terms naturally occurring and inorganic as they relate to mineral characteristics?
it is the something that can hear
What does chemistry seek to explain?
Chemistry explain the chemical composition and structure of materials, the interaction of substances and produce new materials.
How is a theory diffrent from a law?
A law is a description of a naturally occurring phenomenon, whereas a theory attempts to explain a law.
Explain the difference between raw material and natural resources?
raw material - gold, bauxite, diamond natural resource - trees, water, animals basically raw materials are ores found in their state i.e bauxite is found in the ground and aluminum is extracted from it natural resource are naturally occurring and don't need altering, generally have uses to human beings

Who is a solid naturally occurring substance coal forms from the remains of plants and animals is coal a mineral explain?
Coal is not a mineral because it does not have a crystalline structure, which is a key characteristic of minerals. Instead, coal is a naturally occurring organic sedimentary rock made up of the remains of plants and animals that have undergone compaction and chemical changes over millions of years.
What have you learned about minerals and rocks and define mineral explain how h2O can be a mineral and can h2O be a rock and if so what type of rock?
Minerals are naturally occurring, inorganic substances with a definite chemical composition and crystalline structure. Water (H2O) can be classified as a mineral when it is in its solid state, known as ice, as it meets the criteria of being naturally occurring and having a definite structure. However, H2O itself cannot be classified as a rock; rather, ice can be part of sedimentary structures, such as glacial ice, which is often categorized as a type of rock due to its accumulation and consolidation over time.
Can explain in terms of isotopes why the relative atomic mass of atomic number 17 is not a whole number?
Mass number is the average of all the naturally occurring isotopes of that element. When calculated, this average is not a whole number.
List the five characteristic a substance must have to be a mineral explain why coal and a glass marble are not minerals?
To be a mineral, a substance must be naturally occurring, inorganic, solid, have a definite chemical composition, and have an ordered atomic structure. Coal is organic in origin, formed from the remains of plants; therefore, it is not a mineral. A glass marble is man-made and lacks a naturally occurring origin, so it also does not meet the criteria to be considered a mineral.
Does family life grow naturally Explain?
no
What process is occurring in the illustration below?
I'm unable to see the illustration you mentioned, but if you describe it, I can help explain the process occurring in it.
Is Ebola man made?
There is ample evidence that ebola is a naturally-occurring virus. There are many animals with antibodies to ebola and similar viruses. It is human nature to look for a conspiracy to explain such a natural force, but there is no science behind the belief that ebola is man-made.
