Chemistry
1 answer:
lutik1710 [3]3 years ago
6 0

Zeff is the effective nuclear charge wherein, Z resembles the number of protons in the nucleus while S corresponds to the number of non-valence electrons.

Zeff = Z - S

Silicon has 14 protons; its electron configuration is [Ne] 3s2 3p2. Its non-valence electrons is in the n = 1 and n =2 shells. There are 2 electrons in n = 1 and 8 in n = 2, so there are a total of 10 non-valence electron.

So, the answer is 4.

For a fixed amount of gas at a fixed volume, what will happen if the absolute temperature is doubled?
Firlakuza [10]
The answer to this question is: The pressure will be increased two times

The gas law includes an interaction of pressure(p), volume(V) and temperature(T). In this case, the gas has same amount and volume but then the temperature is doubled. The calculation would be:

p1 * V1 / T1= p2*V2 /T2 
p1 * 1 / 1 = p2 * 1 / 2
p1 / (1/2)=p2
p2= 2* p1

Water will move from a ____________ salt solution to a ____________ salt solution when they are across a differentially permeabl
const2013 [10]
The answers are low concentrated (dilute) and high concentrated respectively. 

As the low concentrated salt solution has a higher water potential than that of the high concentrated salt solution, water molecules will flow from the region of higher water potential to the region of lower water potential, thus from the dilute salt solution to the high concentrated salt solution. This is due to the movement called osmosis. Note that osmosis also requires water to flow through a differentially permeable membrane, which means the membrane can allow certain substances (not all) to go in or out. If the differentially permeable membrane is not present, the movement of water molecules may be regarded as diffusion. 

Therefore, the answers for the blanks are low concentrated and high concentrated.
