Answer :

2. Hydrogen forms bonds through the overlap of 1s atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons between atoms. Carbon forms bonds through the overlapping of sp hybrid atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons between carbon atoms.

Explanation:

The H-H bond is formed by the overlap of two 1s orbitals and the sharing of electrons between the two atoms.

A carbon atom must use the overlap of hybridized atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons to bond with another carbon atoms.

1. is wrong because H can use only its 1s orbital for bonding.

3. is wrong because C must share electrons to form a carbon-carbon bond.

4. is wrong because C does NOT use overlapping of 2s orbitals for bonding. It uses the overlap of hybridized orbitals.

5. is wrong because H must share electrons to form an H-H bond.

Metamorphic rocks with a non-foliated texture show metamorphic change that involves ____.

matrenka [14]

Answer:

b. growth in the size of the mineral grains

Explanation:

Non-foliated texture shown by a metamorphic change is depicted by growth in the size of the mineral grains.

Examples of non-foliated metamorphic rocks are quartzite and marble.
In these metamorphic rocks, mineral grains are not aligned with their long axis.
Non-foliated texture occurs under high temperature and low pressure conditions.
As minerals are able to grow, the size can be used to show a metamorphic change.
