What is the parent rock of limestone?
Limestone doesn't normally have a parent rock. One exception to this may be a detrital limestone, whose parent rock would however also be limestone!
Elements whose atoms can combine to form compounds?
Reactive elements have atoms that can combine to form compounds. The atoms in a compound are combined through different types of bonds, such as ionic, covalent, hydrogen, and metallic bonding. With ionic bonding, there is an exchange of electrons between atoms. Covalent bonding occurs when electrons are shared by two atoms.
What are 3 effects of acid rain?
- kills fish/ animals.Some animals that live in water bodies such as mayfly are very sensitive to changes in Ph.They cannot survive in water whose Ph drops even by a fraction. - erodes buildings.The acid in the acid rain reacts with building materials such as some rocks like limestone and reactive metals.The components found in rocks like limestone are dissolved slowly eroding the rock.Similar things happen to the metal material.They react with the acid rain causing it to erode. - Effects on plants.Acid rain attacks the waxy coating on the surface of the leaf of a plant.
Is gneiss a limestone or sandstone?
Neither. Gneiss is a foliated metamorphic rock whose immediate rock ancestor was either schist or a form of granite. Limestone and sandstone are both sedimentary rocks.
What is the chemical formula for metal?
There is no chemical formula for a metal. Metals are elements, whose chemical symbols are on the periodic table of the elements.
What is a reactive metal whose compounds make up limestone chalk cement and the bones and teeth of animals milk is good nutritional source of this element?
calcium
Highly reactive metal whose compounds include table salt and lye?
sodium!
A soft highly reactive metal whose compounds include table salt lye and baking soda?
Sodium
What is a soft heavy metal whose compounds is poisonous?
lead is the compound that is soft and heavy also poisonous
Why are nitrates used as sources of the metal ions?
Nitrates are used as sources of metal ions because all metal nitrates are soluble in water. This is very useful for metals such as lead and silver whose compounds are usually insoluble.

What is A chemical family whose members exist as reactive diatomic molecules in the gaseous phase is the?
A chemical family whose members exist as reactive diatomic molecules in the gaseous phase is the halogen family. All halogens are considered as toxic.
What compounds whose bonds are force of attraction between two oppositely charged particle's are called?
These compounds are ionic.
Which metal which food is made?
iron is the metal whose food is made
