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.
Answer:
Some bacteria like <em><u>rhizobium</u></em> and <u><em>blue green algae</em></u> are able to fix nitrogen gas from the atmosphere to enrich the soil with nitrogen compounds and increase its fertility. The nitrogen-fixing bacteria and blue green algae are called <u><em>biological nitrogen fixers.</em></u>
If there weren't any predators, the population of prey would increase and they would starve due to too many mouths to feed.
Answer:
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce glucose from carbon dioxide and water.

Answer:
Average atomic mass = 51.9963 amu
Explanation:
Given data:
Abundance of Cr⁵⁰ with atomic mass= 4.34%
, 49.9460 amu
Abundance of Cr⁵² with atomic mass = 83.79%, 51.9405 amu
Abundance of Cr⁵³ with atomic mass =9.50%, 52.9407 amu
Abundance of Cr⁵⁴ with atomic mass = 2.37%, 53.9389 amu
Average atomic mass = 51.9963 amu
Solution:
Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass +....n) / 100
Average atomic mass = (4.34×49.9460)+(83.79×51.9405) +(9.50×52.9407)+ (2.37×53.9389) / 100
Average atomic mass = 216.7656 + 4352.0945 + 502.9367 +127.8352 / 100
Average atomic mass = 5199.632 / 100
Average atomic mass = 51.9963 amu
