How did Madison Boulder get to it's present location?

1 answer:

3 0

Madison Boulder is made of fine-grained feldspar and larger quartz crystals that welled up under great pressures from a molten mass deep in the earth over 200 million years ago. Upon cooling, the molten rock hardened. Over the millions of intervening years softer materials on the earth's surface were removed by erosion from wind and water. Not so with the granite of New Hampshire, the Granite State!

As recently as 1835, geologists believed that huge boulders like Madison Boulder isolated in their surroundings had been washed to their present locations by great floods which are said to have occurred in ancient times. Today, it is believed that these large boulders, or "erratics," were moved various distances during the last ice age.

Most authorities trace Madison Boulder to the Whitton or White ledges 12.5 and 4 miles respectively, to the northwest. However, a few maintain that the boulder so closely resembles one of the four types of rock that form Mount Willard in Crawford Notch, twenty-four miles to the nothwest, that the ice sheet must have brought it from there. Madison Boulder lies on "glacial drift," unsorted sediments left by the retreating ice sheet.

Sodium Chloride is an ionic compound. Its molar mass is 58.44g. One formula unit of NaCl consists of one____, whose chemical sym

saul85 [17]

Answer: One formula unit of NaCl consists of one cation, whose chemical symbol is $Na^+$ and one anion whose chemical symbol is $Cl^-$

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

The cation is formed by the metal sodium which forms $Na^+$ and the anion is formed by non metal chlorine which forms $Cl^-$ .

For a formula unit of sodium chloride, the charges have to be balanced , thus the valencies of ions are exchanged and the neutral compound result. Thus

$Na^+$ and $Cl^-$ combine to form neutral $NaCl$

What is the mass of and object with a volume of 100 cm3 and a density of 10 g/cm3?

nadezda [96]

Answer:

1000 g

Explanation:

d = m/v

We are given d: 10g/cm3

and v: 100cm3

Plug them into the equation to get 10 = m/100

Then, cross multiply 10x100 to get mass which is: 1000g

Chemical properties of an element are primarily dependent upon Group of answer choices the electron configuration of the element

Margarita [4]

Answer:

The answer is "the electron configuration of the element".

Explanation:

Electronics are distributed in atomic and molecular orbit via electrons from an atom or a molecule.

It reflects a most frequent dependence on valence electrons in the outer.

Through analyzing the context of the regular periodic table, the individual atoms are helpful. That's also important to understand chemical connections, which hold electrons together. This similar approach helps to explain the specific characteristics of lasers or semiconductors for bulk materials.
