A chemical compound that forms part of a rock?
There are hundreds, I've added a link.
Is a rock a chemical compound?
A rock is a combination of minerals, each of which, in turn, is a chemical compound.
What is the chemical formula for shale?
Shale is a rock not a chemical compound.
Is limestone considered a chemical rock?
Yes. It forms when calcite that is dissolved in lakes, seas or underground water comes out of a solution and forms crystals (precipitation). Certain limestones are also considered bioclastic sedimentary rock, as they are formed primarily of shell fragments or skeletons of marine organisms.
What is the chemical compound foud in rock salt?
sodium chloride, NaCl
What type of sedimentary rock forms when crystals grow out of solution?
These minerals are called evaporites.
Which forms when minerals dissolve in a water solution crystallize?
Chemical Rock
What is the type of sedimentary rock that forms by precipitation of minerals out of water?
Halite and Gypsum, they are called Evaporites and are both rocks and minerals
What characteristics determines the chemical composition of an igneous rock?
An igneous rock is any crystalline or glassy rock that forms from cooling of a magma. Color and texture help determine the chemical composition of the rock.
Does lava turn into a rock when it cools?
Yes, when lava cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rock. The type of rock that forms depends on the chemical composition of the lava and the rate at which it cools.
Write the terms in the correct order in the flowchart to show how a clastic sedimentary rock forms?
Clastic sedimentary rock forms when fragments of preexisting rocks are compacted or cemented together. Organic sedimentary rock forms from the remains of plants or animals. Chemical sedimentary rock forms when minerals precipitate from a solution or settle from a suspension.
Is halite a chemical compound?
Yes, halite is a chemical compound, specifically the mineral form of sodium chloride (NaCl). It is commonly known as rock salt and forms through the evaporation of saline water in environments such as salt lakes and ocean beds. Halite is characterized by its cubic crystal structure and is typically colorless or white, although impurities can give it different hues.
