not naturally occurring
C.
Silicate mineral consisting solely of silicon and oxygen, with
silicon-oxygen tetrahedra bonded in a complex three-
dimensional network
D.
An item that is solid like a mineral, has definite chemical
composition, and shows distinctive physical properties, but does
not have an orderly crystalline structure
E.
A mineral consisting of a poisonous gas ionically bonded to an
extremely reactive metal

Amphibole
Biotite mica
Question 9
Place the following elements in order according to the number
of valence electrons (low to high).
Neon
Aluminum
Chlorine
Oxygen
Calcium
Sodium
Phosphorus
Carbon
Question 10
List the eight most abundant elements in the continental crust.
Question 11
List and describe the different characteristics of sedimentary
rocks and discuss the processes that change sediment into
sedimentary rock.
Question 12
How is a scientific hypothesis different from a scientific
theory? How does a scientific theory differ from a regular
theory (i.e., a non-scientific theory in the way the term is used
by lay people)?
Question 13
