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.

<span><span>Z<span>eff</span></span>= 14−10= 4</span>

So, the answer is 4.

The diagram shows an animal cell.
LenKa [72]

Answer:

X  

Explanation:

Assume your diagram is like the one below.

X represents a mitochondrion.

That's where the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle converts a single glucose molecule into six molecules of CO₂.

W is wrong. It represents a vacuole, which can store both nutrients and waste products for later elimination.

Y is wrong. It represents the nucleolus, which plays a critical role in the synthesis of ribosomes.  

Z is wrong. It represents the cytoplasm, which is where cell processes like glycolysis and protein synthesis take place.

Explain the relationship between plate tectonics and volcanos
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Plates sliding past each other cause friction and heat. Subducting plates melt into the mantle, and diverging plates create new crust material. Subducting plates, where one tectonic plate is being driven under another, are associated with volcanoes and earthquakes.
