How are rocks formed? Explaine in 500 words or less.

Explanation:

Rocks are formed from aggregates of minerals. There are three different types of rocks and they are formed by different processes. Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and solidification of magma within or on the earth crust. Sedimentary rocks are formed from pre-existing rocks by the lithification of sediments brought into a basin of deposition. Metamorphic rocks are changed rocks that have been mineralogically altered.

answer: c.

explanation:

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6
