G3 Q&A
What is a naturally occurring, inorganic, crystalline solid? - (correct answer)Mineral
Minerals are made of atoms. What are atoms made of? - (correct answer)Protons,
Electrons, Neutrons
Which element has 14 protons in its nucleus - (correct answer)Silicon
How many electrons can the first energy shell hold? - (correct answer)2
A substance comprised of only one type of atom is called a(n): - (correct
answer)element
According to the Octet Rule most atoms desire to have _____ electrons orbiting in its
outer shell. - (correct answer)8
Are metals electron gainers or losers? - (correct answer)losers
The chemical bond that occurs between positively and negatively-charged ions is called
a(n): - (correct answer)ionic
What is the bond called where atoms share outer electrons? - (correct answer)covalent
Which bond below is the strongest? - (correct answer)covalent
Give an example of a mineral formed from ionic bonding. - (correct answer)halite
Give an example of a mineral formed from covalent bonding. - (correct answer)diamond
, What metal below occurs naturally in nature - (correct answer)copper
Minerals that tend to split along planes of weakness due to weaker bonds along that
plane have: - (correct answer)cleavage
What are the 2 most abundant elements in Earth's crust? - (correct answer)Oxygen and
silicone
What is the shape formed by the joining together of four oxygen atoms around one
silicon atom? - (correct answer)tetahedron
Name the three identifying characteristics of a mineral - (correct answer)Naturally
occurring, inorganic, crystalline solid
What does it mean to be crystalline solid? - (correct answer)3 dimensional orderly
arrangement in the atoms
What are atoms? - (correct answer)Composed of three subatomic particles, proton,
neutron and electron. Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of atom. What makes
them different is the number of protons. Atoms are electrically neutral because they
have the same number of electrons orbiting nucleus as protons.
Proton - (correct answer)Positive charge, center of the atom
Electron - (correct answer)Negative outside of the atom
Neutron - (correct answer)Neutral5. center of the atom
What is an element - (correct answer)Made up of one type of atom,
