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.
What is a collection of atoms called?
A large collection of neutral atoms with the same atomic number is a sample of an element. Elements include include lithium, hydrogen, neon, and oxygen. Note that different isotopes of elements exist; these are atoms with the same atomic number but having a different number of neutrons.
How do materials get there strength?
Arrangement of the atoms and the bonds between the atoms.
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
What is the difference between molecular structure and crystal structure?
The difference between atomic structures and crystal structures is that in atomic structures, atom patterns are mismatched, random, and disordered unlike crystal structures in which atoms are positioned in orderly and repeated patterns.For example to crystalline structure; BCC FCC and HCP
What is the relationship between the amount of energy needed to separate the atoms in a compound and the strength of the bond between atoms in that compound?
It is a direct relationship. Stronger bonds between atoms require more energy to break.
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.
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.
What is the distance between the nuclei of two atoms when the atoms are joined?
The distance between the nuclei of two atoms that are chemically bonded is called the bond length.
What is the movement of electrons between atoms is called?
It is called an electrical current.
What is the difference in strength between atoms with ionic bonds and atoms with covalent bonds?
ionic bonds have strong bonds and molecular bonds have very strong bonds.
Why can carbon form such strong bonds between atoms?
Because carbon has a double bond gving it double the strength
Which of the following best characterizes the bond formed by two identical atoms?
Characteristics of this bond:- single, double or triple bond- distance between atoms- strength of the bond
