Answer

Brief Explanations:

For question 22, by observing the bar - chart showing the relative abundance of elements in Earth's crust, oxygen has the highest percentage by weight and silicon has the second - highest. For question 23, the arrangement of atoms in a mineral determines its physical and chemical properties.

Answer:

  1. D. Silicon
  2. C. physical properties and chemical structure
