The effective nuclear charge is the amount of charge experienced by an electron taking into account any shielding effects from o

ther electrons. Electrons between the nucleus and the electron of interest cause shielding and reduce the actual charge felt by the electron of interest. The outermost electron of boron experiences a lower effective nuclear charge than carbon. Why?

Answer:

The nuclear charge increases from boron to carbon, but there is no additional shielding( that is no additional shells).

Explanation:

First of all, we must know the electron configuration of carbon and boron.

Boron- 1s2 2s2 2p1

Carbon- 1s2 2s2 2p2

Moving from boron to carbon, the effective nuclear charge increases without a corresponding increase in the number of shells. Remember that shielding increases with increase in the number of intervening shells between the outermost electron and the nucleus. Since there isn't an increase in shells, boron experience a lower screening effect.

From

Zeff= Z- S

The Z for carbon is 6 while for boron is 5 even though both have the same number of screening electron S(4 screening electrons). Hence it is expected the Zeff(effective nuclear charge) for boron will be less than that of carbon.

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, we have a problem with sending it to a landfill of copper oxide because it has harmful effect on the health of humans as well as more weight of the copper oxide. Copper oxide usually found in powder form which can easily be inhaled that causes death of the cell due to toxic effect on the mitochondria and lysosomes of the cell. It makes problem of health in carrying the copper oxide from the basement of the factory to the landfill region due to its power form so we can say that it can do problems  to human health while carrying from one place to another.

Determine the mass of sodium carbonate required to produce 23.4g of sodium chloride when it reacts with excess hydrochloric acid
Leni [432]
The balanced chemical reaction for the described reaction above is,
                          Na2CO3 + 2HCl ---> 2NaCl + H2CO3
From the reaction, 1 mole of Na2CO3 is needed to produce 2 moles of NaCl. In terms of mass, 106 grams of Na2CO3 are needed to produce 116.9 grams of NaCl. From this,
                (23.4 g NaCl) x (106 g Na2CO3 / 116.9 NaCl = 21.22 g Na2CO3
Thus, approximately 21.22 g Na2CO3 is needed for the desired reaction.
