question 2 (2 points)
which mineral group includes one carbon atom bonded to three oxygen atoms?
halides
carbonates
sulfates
phosphates

Explanation:

Question 1

A geologist studies the Earth's solid materials, landforms, and geological processes. The formation of a river valley (Snake River valley), mining locations (molybdenum in Idaho), and volcanic eruptions (Craters of the Moon) are all geological topics. However, observing the Milky Way in the sky is an astronomy - related question, not geology.

• Halides have a halogen ion (e.g., \(Cl^-\), \(F^-\)).
• Carbonates have the \(CO_3^{2 -}\) ion, which is one carbon atom bonded to three oxygen atoms.
• Sulfates have the \(SO_4^{2 -}\) ion (one sulfur atom bonded to four oxygen atoms).
• Phosphates have the \(PO_4^{3 -}\) ion (one phosphorus atom bonded to four oxygen atoms).

Answer:

How much of the Milky Way can I see in the sky in downtown Boise?
