Preparing to Write an Argument (continued) Part 2
Question Can the Ed-You Smivel chairs capture enough energy to power the school's small electronics?
Select the claim the evidence supports
Claim 1: The Ed-You-Swivel chairs will capture enough energy to power the school's
small electronics
Claim 2. The Ed-You-Swivel chairs will not capture enough energy to power the school's
small electronics
Evidence
Therefore, ...
(claim)
This matters because ...
(How does this evidence
support the claim2)

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
