Which of the following is metamorphic rock?

52% Answer Correctly

obsidian

granite

marble

coal


Solution

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.

88% Answer Correctly

sugars and starches

food additives

81% Answer Correctly

shingles

scurvy

diabetes


Solution

Anemia, which may cause weakness, dizziness, and headaches is caused by a lack of iron in the diet.


4

Elements in the same group in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same:

51% Answer Correctly

number of electrons

number of electron shells

number of atomic mass units

number of electrons in their outer electron shell


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.


5

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:

64% Answer Correctly

period

family

group

atomic number


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.
