Answer:

Explanation:

Slate is a fine-grained, foliated metamorphic rock that is created by the alteration of shale or mudstone by low-grade regional metamorphism. It is popular for a wide variety of uses such as roofing, flooring, and flagging because of its durability and attractive appearance.

Answer:

Deep within the Earth's crust rocks can be put under huge pressures and temperatures are very high. These conditions can cause the minerals in the rock to change. This process is called metamorphism. Limestone can change into marble, shale and mudstones into slate, and igneous rocks like granite can turn into gneiss.

Which statement accurately depicts what happens to water on the molecular level in a tea pot when it begins to boil?

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

(a) The molecules begin to move farther apart decreasing their intermolecular forces and they escape the liquid state to enter the gas state.

Explanation:

As we put tea pot full of water on stove the heat transfer starts from surface of tea pot to the closest water molecule near the surface of tea pot, after becoming hot the water rises up and cooler water comes down. When water begins to boil their intermolecular forces begin to decrease and they start to convert in gaseous or vapor state.

How do i find a ionic formula? <br><br>for example Ca2+ & S2-

jeka94

Example #1 write the chemical formula for Calcium Oxide

Step 1

-Find the Atomic symbol of the metal and non-metal on the periodic table

CaO

Step 2

Find the charges for Calcium and Oxygen

which are Ca 2+ and O 2-

Step 3

Balance out the charges

They are already balanced out

Here´s the chemical formula for Calcium Oxide

CaO

Example 2 write the chemical formula for Aluminum Oxide

Step 1

-Find the Atomic symbol of the metal and non-metal on the periodic table

Step 2

Find the charges for Aluminum and Oxygen

Which are Al 3+ and O 2-

Step 3

Balance out the charges

You need 2 Aluminum and 3 Oxygen to balance the charges

Al 3+ O 2-

= 6 + O 2-

= 6-

Step 4

If you need more then one element to balance out the charges you identify that by using subscripts

Heres your chemical formula for Aluminum Oxide

$Al_{2} O_{3}$

Where is the moon located in relation to Earth and the sun when it is a first-quarter moon?

dangina [55]

At first quarter and last quarter, the Moon lies perpendicular to a line between Earth and the Sun. We see exactly half of the Moon illuminated by the Sun — the other half lies in shadow. Hope it helps :)
