Question

Asteroids can be classified into two broad groups based ontheir
composition and location: carbon-rich asteroids dominate the outerpart of
the asteroid belt, whereas metal-rich asteroids dominate the innerpart of
the belt. Analysis of the fragment we have discussed in thisproject
reveals that it contains nearly equal amounts of metals and carbon.Can we
conclude that the original asteroid had a similar composition? Forma
hypothesis about the origin of this asteroid based on theavailable
information.
