Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Most economically important metal atoms do not fit easily into the silicate minerals that form most of the crystals in solidifying magma. As a result, fractional crystallization concentrates originally trace quantities of the metal atoms so that they have relatively high concentrations in the last remaining melt. At these high concentrations, the metal atoms typically join with sulfur atoms to make sulfide ore minerals.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
