How the chemical stability of a mineral is affected by the bonding of the atoms in a mineral?
the chemical stability of minerals is depedent on the strength of the chemical bonds between atoms in the mineral.
Matter consists of tiny particles called?
atoms
What does the relative atomic mass of an element tell us about the relative abundance of an isotope?
None. The relative abundance of isotopes is used to calculate the Average Mass (by multiplying the Atomic Mass of the isotopes by their relative abundancies and adding the products together) while the Atomic Mass is simply the number of protons plus the number of neutrons.
How did Dalton define an element?
John Dalton's most important theory, developed in 1803, was that matter is composed of atoms of differing weights that combine in simple ratios.Dalton published a book in 1808 listing the atomic weights of a number of known elements relative to the weight of hydrogen. Although not entirely accurate when published, those weights form the basis for the modern periodic table of the elements.John Dalton has been honored by having his name used as the international atomic mass unit, equivalent to 1/12 of the mass of a neutral carbon-12 atom, the dalton.
Atoms bonded together to form a chemical unit are called?
Molecules
How do materials get there strength?
Arrangement of the atoms and the bonds between the atoms.
What is the relative strength of an ionic bond?
Ionic bonds are typically strong relative to other types of chemical bonds, such as covalent bonds. They result from the electrostatic attraction between positively and negatively charged ions, leading to a strong attraction between the atoms involved. The strength of an ionic bond depends on the charges of the ions involved and the distance between them.
What is a relative strength of forces holding the particles together in a solid?
A relative strength of forces holding the particles together in a solid is the strong electrostatic forces between atoms or molecules known as chemical bonds. These chemical bonds can be covalent, ionic, or metallic, depending on the type of solid.
How does the strength of the bonds between the atoms of a hydrocarbons compare with the strength of the forces of attraction between its molecules?
The intramolecular bonds are stronger.
What are properties of a mineral related to?
Strength of bonds between atoms
The movement of electrons between atoms is called an?
The movement of electrons between atoms is called an electric current.
How the chemical stability of a mineral is affected by the bonding of the atoms in a mineral?
the chemical stability of minerals is depedent on the strength of the chemical bonds between atoms in the mineral.
Are the atoms in the diamond stronger then the one in a graphite?
The carbon atoms that make up diamond are (within certain parameters) no different than the atoms found within the graphite. The strength between the two minerals comes from the structure/organization of the carbon, not the "strength" of atoms.
Atoms have what kinds of electric charge?
As a rule, atoms do not have a charge, that is why they are atoms.Different parts of the atom has a charge:proton - relative mass of 1 - charge of +1neutron - relative mass of 1 - charge of 0electron - relative mass of about 1/2000 - charge of -1A atom has a equal number of electons and a equal number of protons, and so no charge
How do the nuclei of covalently bonded atoms contribute to maintaining the bond's stability and strength?
The nuclei of covalently bonded atoms contribute to maintaining the bond's stability and strength by attracting and holding onto the shared electrons between the atoms. This attraction helps to keep the atoms close together and prevents them from drifting apart, thus maintaining the bond's stability and strength.
What is the movement of electrons between atoms is called?
It is called an electrical current.
How the forces between neutral atoms are formed?
Forces between neutral atoms are typically due to Van der Waals forces, which are weak and temporary electrostatic interactions between temporary dipoles in the atoms. These forces arise from fluctuations in electron distributions around the atoms, leading to attraction or repulsion between them, depending on the relative orientation of the dipoles.
