Quartz, sio2, is the most common mineral found on the surface of the earth. what is the best explanation for the fact that quartz is hard and has a high melting point as opposed to other oxides like no2 and co2?

Silver tarnishes as silver metal reacts with hydrogen sulfide, h2s, in the air. in this reaction, dark silver sulfide, au2s, covers the surface of silver. when silver is polished, this coating of silver sulfide can be removed from the surface. this makes the silver shiny again. enter the coefficients that balance the tarnishing reaction equation. (type 1 for no coefficient.)

*will mark you brainliest + 15 points ** why does the equilibrium of a system shift when the pressure is increased? a. to maximize the stress on the system b. to stop restoring equilibrium to the system c. to increase the total moles of gas in the system d. to decrease the total moles of gas in the system

Why does the sun appear to be the brightest star in the sky? a- its apparent brightness is much greater than other stars. b- it burns more gas, making it brighter than any other star. c- it is the largest star in the galaxy, so it is the brightest star. d- its relative distance to earth is closer than the other stars.
