I would like this before 11:59 PM EST on Friday, March 26th 2021. Yes, this IS for a HOMEWORK assignment, so PLEASE DON'T DELETE THIS. Thank you! Propose an explanation for the wide diversity of minerals. Consider factors such as the elements that make up minerals and the Earth processes that form minerals.

Explanation is in the file

the relative atomic mass of an element is the mass of one atom of that element, relative to 1/12th of the mass of a  1212c atom. to convert to an absolute mass in kg, it is necessary to multiply by  1.661×10−271.661×10−27.

the relative atomic mass is roughly equal to the number of neutrons, plus the number of protons, in the nucleus of the atom.

for elements with more than one stable isotope (different types of nucleus with different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons), the quoted mass is usually the average mass, weighted by the relative abundance of the different isotopes.

the answer is b.) hydrogen bonds between bases.
