Why do convergent oceanic plates subduct, but continental plates do not usually respond in this way?

a. oceanic plates and continental plates are about the same density, so they mix with each other at boundaries.

b. oceanic plates are made of dense rock; therefore they sink into the asthenosphere more readily. continental plates are made of lighter, more buoyant rock.

c. oceanic plates are made of less dense rock; therefore they rise into the asthenosphere more readily. continental plates are made of denser rock.

d. oceanic plates are made of very dense rock; therefore they rise into asthenosphere more readily. continental plates are made of dense rock so they rise too.

What best explains whether bromine (br) or neon (ne) is more likely to form a covalent bond? bromine forms covalent bonds because it has seven valence electrons, but neon has eight valence electrons and already fulfills the octet rule. bromine forms covalent bonds because it has many electron shells, but neon has only two electron shells and is tightly bound to its electrons. neon forms covalent bonds because it can share its valence electrons, but bromine has seven valence electrons and can gain only one more electron. neon forms covalent bonds because it has only two electron shells, but bromine has many electron shells and will lose electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule.
