Answer:

Schist is not an example of sedimentary rocks.

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are formed by the continual deposition of small particles carried in rivers and deposited in lakes or oceans which are subsequently cemented over time due to pressure from the upper layers and presence of some minerals at the Earth's surface. They are majorly in layers and the three types are; organic, chemical and clastic. Common examples are; sandstone, limestone, and shale.

The answer is option B "schist." Schist is a metamorphic rock and metamorphic rocks are formed by intense heat and pressure. It wouldn't be options A, C, or D because these are indeed sedimentary rocks which are formed by deposition and compaction.

Hope this helps.

Determine the expected diffraction angle for the first-order diffraction from the (111) set of planes for FCC nickel (Ni) when m

faust18 [17]

Answer:

56°

Explanation:

First calculate $a:$

$a=2 R \sqrt{2}=2(0.1246) \sqrt{2}=0.352 \mathrm{nm}$

The interplanar spacing can be calculated from:

$d_{111}=\frac{a}{\sqrt{1^{2}+1^{2}+1^{2}}}=\frac{0.352}{\sqrt{3}}=0.203 \mathrm{nm}$

The diffraction angle is determined from:

$\sin \theta=\frac{n \lambda}{2 d_{111}}=\frac{1(0.1927)}{2(0.2035)}=0.476$

Solve for $\theta$

$\theta=\sin ^{-1}(0.476)=28^{\circ}$

The diffraction angle is:

$2 \theta=2\left(28^{\circ}\right)=56^{\circ}$

Answer:

Barium atomic number is 56, this means that it has 56 protons in its nucleus and put it as a period 6 element. an uncharged barium atom would have 56 electron also. However as a group 2 element barium easily loses 2 electron to form the +2 cation. the ions has 56-2=54
