The rock you are referring to is shale. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock composed of compacted clay and silt particles. When subjected to intense heat and pressure, shale can undergo metamorphism and transform into slate. This process of metamorphism causes the clay minerals in shale to recrystallize, resulting in the characteristic foliated texture of slate.
No. Slate is harder. Slate is shale that has been heated and compressed.
Slate is an electrical insulator. Slate is not a conductor of electricity.
Slate is metamorphosed shale or mudstone.

Slate is a hard, dark grey rock which splits into thin sheets (along a pronounced and dominant cleavage), which makes it very suitable for roofing material.
Slate rock is very smooth. These rocks are typically dark grey but could also be orange, red, black, and light grey.
No, that was Jenny Slate.
John Locke
Slate's slightly coarse texture allows bits of chalk to 'stick' to board. Its foliation (process of splitting into thin sheets) allows it to be broken or cut easily into pieces ranging from a small student chalkboard - or as big as a giant chalkboard for the teacher to write on. Slate is also very durable, although now slate chalkboards are being overtaken by 'white boards' and SmartBoards.

They are said to have a glassy or vitreous texture.
The philosopher John Locke is often associated with the concept of the "tabula rasa," or "blank slate," which suggests that individuals are born without innate ideas or knowledge and that our experiences shape our character and development.
The rock is said to have a fine-grained texture, also referred to as an aphanitic texture.
The philosopher John Locke is often credited with the idea that a child is born as a "tabula rasa," or blank slate, upon which experiences and society shape their development. This concept emphasizes the role of environment and nurture in shaping an individual's character and beliefs.
