A Nichrome wire is used as a heating element in a toaster. From the moment the toaster is first turned on to the moment the wire reaches it maximum temperature, the current in the wire drops by 20% from its initial value. What is the temperature change in the wire? The temperature coefficient for Nichrome is a = 0.0004 (°C)-1. a) 200°C
b) 400°C
c) 500oC
d) 300°C
e) 100°C

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).

oxygen, selenium, tellurium, and polonium.

they're all from the same group as sulfur (group 16).
