Answer:Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock that forms from the compaction of silt and clay-size mineral particles that we commonly call "mud." This composition places shale in a category of sedimentary rocks known as "mudstones." ... "Fissile" means that the rock readily splits into thin pieces along the laminations.
Explanation:
Answer:
trans-1,3-pentadiene is more stable than 1,4-pentadiene due to presence of a conjugated double bond.
Explanation:
Here, 
H(hydrogenated pdt.) is same for both 1,4-pentadiene and 1,3-pentadiene as they both produce pentane after hydrogenation
H(diene) depends on stability of diene.
More stable a diene, lesser will be it's H(diene) value (more neagtive).
trans-1,3-pentadiene is more stable than 1,4-pentadiene due to presence of a conjugated double bond.
Hence, 
is higher (less negative) for trans-1,3-pentadiene
Here we assume that disintegration has occur so the normal t½ formular will not be used
mathematically we..⅛×5600 =700
therefore it is about 700years option A
The hydrophobic effect is caused by nonpolar molecules clumping together. Large macromolecules can have hydrophobic sections, which will fold the molecule so they can be close to each other, away from water. Many amino acids in proteins are hydrophobic, helping the proteins obtain their complicated shapes. The hydrophobic effect extends to organisms, as many hydrophobic molecules on the surface of an organisms help them regulate the amount of water and nutrients in their systems.
