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.
An element cannot be broken down any further. Elements can be found on the periodic table
c.Both the breaking of nuclear bonds and the forming of nuclear bonds.
Explanation:
Nuclear energy is released by the breaking and forming of nuclear bonds. The breaking of nuclear bonds by unstable atoms is known as nuclear fission. The forming of nuclear bonds by combination of light atoms is known as nuclear fusion.
- Nuclear fission is a radioactive decay process in which a heavy nucleus spontaneously disintegrates into lighter ones with the release of energy.
- In nuclear fusion, atomic nuclei combines into larger ones with the release of large amount of energy.

Answer:
Bleach and seawater are identified wrong.
Explanation:
Acids have an pH that is lower than 7 and bases have a pH of higher than 7 and (pH 7 is neutral)
We can observe from the table that bleach has a pH of 13 which is higher than 7 and shows basic characteristics
As for seawater the table shows it has a pH of 8 which is also a base. Therefore the answer is 3rd option "Bleach and seawater should be identified as bases".
