Read the given expression. X = number of protons − number of core electrons Which of the following explains the identity of X an
shepuryov [24]

<u>Answer: </u>The correct statement is X is the effective nuclear charge, and it increases across a period.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given that:

X = number of protons − number of core electrons

Effective nuclear charge is defined as the actual nuclear charge (Z = number of protons) minus the screening effect caused by the electrons present between nucleus and valence electrons. These electrons are the core electrons.

The formula used for the calculation of effective nuclear charge given by Slater is:

Z^*=Z-\sigma

where,

Z^* = effective nuclear charge

Z = atomic number or actual nuclear charge or number of protons

\sigma = Screening constant

The effective nuclear charge increases as we go from left to right in a period because nuclear charge increases with no effective increase in screening constant.

Hence, the correct answer is X is the effective nuclear charge, and it increases across a period.

The Earth rotates about its axis from west to east. What piece of evidence about the Moon can we use to support this statement?
Debora [2.8K]
The Earth's rotation has no relation to the phases of the moon.
Like everything else in the sky, the moon rises in the east just like the stars, planets, and the sun.

2. Calculate the mass of 3.47x1023 gold atoms.
lapo4ka [179]

3.47 x 10^{23} atoms of gold have mass of 113.44 grams.

Explanation:

Data given:

number of atoms of gold = 3.47 x 10^{23}

mass of the gold in given number of atoms = ?

atomic mass of gold =196.96 grams/mole

Avagadro's number = 6.022 X 10^{23}

from the relation,

1 mole of element contains 6.022 x 10^{23} atoms.

so no of moles of gold given = \frac{3.47 X 10^{23}  }{6.022 X 10^{23} }

0.57 moles of gold.

from the relation:

number of moles = \frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}

rearranging the equation,

mass = number of moles x atomic mass

mass = 0.57 x 196.96

mass = 113.44 grams

thus, 3.47 x 10^{23} atoms of gold have mass of 113.44 grams

What does iron do for the human body(two paragraphs)
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Hey mate....

Explanation:

This is ur answer.....

<em>Iron is an essential element for blood production. About 70 percent of your body's iron is found in the red blood cells of your blood called hemoglobin and in muscle cells called myoglobin. Hemoglobin is essential for transferring oxygen in your blood from the lungs to the tissues. Myoglobin, in muscle cells, accepts, stores, transports and releases oxygen.</em><em> </em><em>About 6 percent of body iron is a component of certain proteins, essential for respiration and energy metabolism, and as a component of enzymes involved in the synthesis of collagen and some neurotransmitters. Iron also is needed for proper immune function.</em><em> </em><em>About 25 percent of the iron in the body is stored as ferritin, found in cells and circulates in the blood. The average adult male has about 1,000 mg of stored iron (enough for about three years), whereas women on average have only about 300 mg (enough for about six months). When iron intake is chronically low, stores can become depleted, decreasing hemoglobin levels.</em><em> </em><em>When iron stores are exhausted, the condition is called iron depletion. Further decreases may be called iron-deficient erythropoiesis and still further decreases produce iron deficiency anemia.</em>
