The only explanation in this situation is that the parent rocks of the marble and slate were different. This indicates that the region once held both shale and limestone before metamorphism.

In reference to rocks, it denotes those that have undergone metamorphism—rocks that may have started as sedimentary, igneous, or another type of metamorphic rock but has since undergone "recrystallization" and taken on an entirely new form—under new temperature and pressure conditions.

For instance, when limestone is heated and compressed, it changes into marble, a more coarsely crystalline and occasionally banded rock.

When shale, a clay-rich, soft rock, is compressed, slate, a tougher rock, is created.

The alterations are frequently even more remarkable, resulting in the formation of new minerals, including garnet, mica, and tourmaline (as seen in schist).

One isotope of sodium has 11 protons and 7 neutrons. What is the mass number of this isotope?
Alecsey [184]

The mass number, also known as an atomic mass number or nucleon number, refers to the total number of neutrons and protons (in a combination known as nucleons) in an atomic nucleus. It determines the atomic mass of atoms. However, while calculating the mass number, the small contribution of mass from electrons is ignored.  

Mass number is equal to Number of protons + Number of neutrons  

Mass number = 11 + 7 = 18.  

Hence, the correct answer is 18.
