First we have to establish that the number of protons is equivalent to the atomic number of element. Here I am assuming that you are referring to Potassium (K) - 40. Potassium, stable or unstable has 19 protons.
Answer:
(B) The speed is larger at A than at B.
Explanation:
Point B, the final point of the trajectory, has higher electric potential than point A, the initial point of the trajectory, so the electric potential energy of the charged particle increases, which means that its kinetic energy must be decreasing, thus the speed at B must be lower than the speed at A.
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. Below is the solution. I hope the answer will help.
<span>Cl^- 1s^2 2s^2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 1s^2 2s^2p^6 S = 10; 3s^2 3p^6 S = 0 </span>
<span>Zeff = Z-S = 17- 10 =7 </span>
<span>K^+ 1s^2 2s^2p^6 3s^2 3p^6; 1s^2 2s^2p^6 S = 10; 3s^2 3p^6 S = 0 </span>
<span>Zeff = Z-S = 19- 10 = 9
</span>
S = 2 + 6.8 + 2.45 = 11.25
<span>Zeff(Cl^-) = 17 – 11.25 = 5.75 </span>
<span>K^+ 1s^2 2s^2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 same S as for Cl^- but Z increases by 2 hence </span>
<span>Zeff(K^+) = 19 - 11.25 = 7.75</span>
