Typically rocks formed<span> by </span>regional metamorphism<span> have experienced deviatoric stress producing foliations. </span>Rock<span> types such as slate, phyllite, schist, gneiss and granulite are typical of </span>regional metamorphism<span>.
</span>Low-grade metamorphism takes place at temperatures between about 200 to 320oC, and relatively low pressure.  Low grade metamorphic rocks are generally characterized by an abundance of hydrous minerals.<span>  With increasing grade of metamorphism, the hydrous minerals begin to react with other minerals and/or break down to less hydrous minerals.</span>

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

From left to right, the oxides across period 3;

i) Period 3 oxides all appear white in colour. They are all crystalline solids and their melting points decrease from left to right.

ii) The volatility of period 3 oxides increases from left to right across the periodic table

iii) The metallic oxides on the right hand side adopt giant ionic structures. Silicon oxide which is in the middle of the period forms a giant covalent structure. Oxides of other elements towards the right hand side form molecular oxide structures.

iv) The acidity of oxides of period 3 increases from left to right. Metals on the left hand side form basic oxides while non-metals on the right hand side form acidic oxides. The oxide of aluminium in the middle is amphoteric.

v) The oxides of period 3 elements do not conduct electricity. However, the metallic oxides on the lefthand side conduct electricity in molten state. The non-metallic oxides on the right hand side are molecular hence they do not conduct electricity under any circumstance.

All substances taking part in a certain interaction are shown below: Butane is written followed by an addition sign followed by
OverLord2011 [107]
<span>The Law of Conservation of Mass simply states that the total amount of mass should not change in a chemical reaction that is isolated (no other objects can enter the reaction). The total mass of the reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products. Thus, t</span>he correct estimate of the amount of oxygen used in the interaction is the difference between 133 g and 29 g.

How does the emission spectrum of the hydrogen atom provide evidence for the Bohr model of the atom
Lyrx [107]
The fact that there are definite energy levels in the radiation spectra is known since light wavelength has been linked with the energy quantum (Einstein 1905 - Δ=ℎ.). These energy differences explain the reason why the spectrum of atoms is discontinuous (formed by spectral lines).
Bohr had the idea to link it to a change in the orbit radius of the electron around the nucleus (The idea that H atom could be formed by the association of one proton and one electron had been suggested a couple of years before by E. Rutherford).
This outstanding idea was perfected by a whole series of remarquable physicists in the years 1920–1930. It even continues to be refined to this day, where it forms the basis of atomic spectroscopy.

How would an equation be written for the dissociation of ionic solutes in water?
tangare [24]
1) Assume M refers to a general element and Z referes to other general element.

2) Assume the chemical formula of the ionic compound is MₓZₐ

3) Then the dissociaton would be written:


MₓZₐ → XMᵃ⁺ + AZˣ⁻

That means that the ionic compoud will lead to the X cations Mᵃ⁺ whose oxidation state are a+, and A anions Zˣ⁻ whose oxidation state is x⁻.

5) For example: MgBr₂ (aq) → Mg⁺² (aq) + 2Br⁻ (aq)


6) Explanation: since the water molecules are polar, they will surround (solvate) the three ions that form the compound MgBr₂, overcoming the electrostatic forces that hold together the atoms in the ionic lattice.

An isotope contains 56 protons, 54 electrons, and 74 neutrons. What is the identity of the isotope? Choose 1 answer:
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Barium.

Explanation:

Each chemical element is characterized by the number of protons in its nucleus, which is called the atomic number Z. But in the nucleus of each element it is also possible to find neutrons, whose number can vary. The atomic mass (A) is obtained by adding the number of protons and neutrons in a given nucleus.

The same chemical element can be made up of different atoms, that is, their atomic numbers are the same, but the number of neutrons is different. These atoms are called isotopes of the element. Isotopes means "same place", that is, since all the isotopes of an element have the same atomic number, they occupy the same place in the Periodic Table. So if a neutron is added to an atom, it becomes an isotope of that chemical element.

The isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties, but differ somewhat in their physical properties.

Barium has an atomic number of 56 (number of protons). Also, the mass number of this barium isotope is 130 (56 protons + 76 neutrons). Finally, since it has 54 electrons, two negatively charged electrons less than the number of positively charged protons, this isotope is a cation with oxidation number +2.
