Restricted ocean basins located in warm climates will experience high rates of evaporation, which will result in the creation of evaporate minerals such as gypsum or halite.
 
  When such a solution containing dissolved mineral matter evaporates, why does the mineral matter precipitate instead of evaporating with the water?
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

What is the significance of valence electrons in connection to mineral formation?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

Answer: The molecules of mineral are too heavy evaporate at those temperature conditions and will remain behind in the solution until the solution becomes saturated.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Valence electrons are present in the outermost shell of electrons orbiting the nucleus. Because the most stable atomic configuration occurs when the outermost electron shell is full, atoms will accept, release, or share valence electrons between other atoms in order to fill that shell, thus forming chemical bonds, which can produce minerals.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
