Layer 2 and layer 9 are the same relative age.

Explanation:

The statement that best describes the rock layers is that Layer 2 and layer 9 are the same relative age..

The relative age is used in placing sedimentary rocks in order of their occurrence.

To do this, we apply the sedimentary laws.

The ones applicable here are:

Principle of superposition states that in an undisturbed sequence, the oldest layer is at the base and youngest on top.
Principle of cross cutting states that a fault and intrusion are younger than the rocks they cut through.
Principle of fossil and fauna succession states that fossils and fauna succeed on another in a determinable form.

We see that layers 2 and 9 have the same fossil and are the same lithological units.

<h3>Radionuclides: Uranium and Radium</h3>

So you've just had your water tested and the lab results are telling you that you've got radionuclides.

Radionuclides are radioactive isotopes or unstable forms of elements. Radioactivity is the release of energy, radiation, that occurs when these unstable elements decay or breakdown into more stable elements. This process is known as radioactive decay and is measured by the half-life of the element. The half-life is the time required for half of the original element to decay. The half-life for radionuclides can range from a few thousands of a second to a few billion years.

The two most common radionuclides found in groundwater supplies are Uranium and Radium. Uranium and Radium are naturally occurring elements that are found throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States in bedrock deposits like shale or granite deep below the surface. Rather than the glowing green rocks often portrayed in cinema or television, uranium and radium are found in ores mixed with other minerals and metals.

Uranium is the largest naturally occurring element on earth, nearly 70% denser than lead, and exists naturally as three different isotopes: U-234, U-235, and U-238, with U-238 and U-235 being the most common. U-235 is the preferred isotope for nuclear power generation. All three forms of uranium have the same chemical and physical properties, but have different radioactive properties.

In very low pH conditions, uranium exists in a cation oxidized form UO2, but it is most commonly present as anionic compounds UO2(CO3)2 and UO2(CO3)3. As uranium decays naturally over time, it releases radiation and forms new elements like radium, lead, and radon gas.

The solubility of CaCl2 in water is 25g per 50 mL of H2O. How many grams of CaCl2 will dissolved to form a saturated solution in

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: option B. 5g

Explanation:

50mL of H2O dissolves 25g of CaCl2.

Therefore, 10mL of H2O will dissolve Xg of CaCl2 i.e

Xg of CaCl2 = (10 x 25) /50 = 5g

To achieve an octet in the valence energy level, a fluorine atom will gain two electrons?

solmaris [256]

1 electron. Look at the periodic table, fluorine (F) is on the right, atomic number 9. It wants to get all the way over to the right to become more stable, which means it only needs 1 more electron (has 7 in its current state, wants 8)
