Although not usually soluble in plain water, an amphoteric oxide or hydroxide is: 1. soluble in neutral solutions. 2. soluble in
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The correct option is: 4. soluble in both acidic and basic solutions

Explanation:

Oxide is a chemical compound formed by an element with oxygen. In such compounds, the oxygen is generally present in the -2 oxidation state.

Whereas, hydroxide is a chemical compound formed by an element with hydroxyl group (-OH).

<em>Oxides and hydroxides of some elements are </em><em>amphoteric</em><em> in nature.</em> <u><em>Such compounds can behave as an acid in basic medium and behave as a base in acidic medium.</em></u>

<u>Therefore, amphoteric oxides and hydroxides are soluble in both acidic and basic solutions.</u>

3. Determine the Zeff value of Uranium, also indicate (based on your answer with mathematical calculations) which electron will
Ilya [14]

Explanation:

Electronic configuration of uranium is given below -

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁶4d¹⁰5s²5p⁶4f¹⁴5d¹⁰6s²6p⁶5f³6d¹7s2²

Effective nuclear charge (Z eff) = Atomic number (Z) - Shielding constant (S)

<u> Value of Shielding constant (S) can be calculated by using slater's rule : </u>

S = 1 (0.35) + 9 (0.85) + 81 (1.00)

S = 0.35 + 7.65 + 81.00

S = 89

So,

Zeff = Z - S

Zeff = 92 - 89

<u> Zeff = 3 </u>

Hence, Effective nuclear charge (Zeff) of uranium = <u>3 </u>

What is the main process that happens in the mantle?
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Mantle convection is the very slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior to the planet's surface. The Earth's surface lithosphere rides atop the asthenosphere and the two form the components of the upper mantle.
