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.

Given: 4Na + O2 → 2Na2O In this chemical reaction, how many moles of Na2O will be produced if 2.90 moles of Na react completely?
crimeas [40]

Since we already have the balanced equation, we know that the ratio between Na:Na_{2}O is 4:2 respectively.

So then we can set up a proportion to find the number of moles produced when 2.90 moles of Na react completely:

\frac{4mol_{Na}}{2mol_{Na_{2}O}} =\frac{2.90mol_{Na}}{xmol_{Na_{2}O}}

Then we cross multiply and solve for x:

4x=5.8

x=1.45

Therefore, we know that when 2.90 moles of Na react completely, there are 1.45 moles of Na_{2}O that are produced.

An electric current can be conducted by _____. a sugar solution rubbing alcohol methane gas a salt solution
VMariaS [17]

The answer is salt water.

Salt water can conduct electricity or we can say that an electric current is conducted by salt water as salt water is a good conductor of electricity when salt that is sodium chloride or NaCl is dissolved in water , positively charged sodium (Na⁺) and negatively charged chlorine(Cl⁻) molecules are set apart by the water molecule so that they can float easily and freely. We can define the conductivity of a substance as the mobility or movement of ions. So as in water, sodium and chlorine are set apart and can move freely so it become a electrolyte that can conduct electricity.
