Answer:

A = shielding.

Explanation:

The addition of electron causes the atomic size increase from top to bottom due to increase in atomic number.

As the atomic number increased one more electron is added and because of this electron on more electronic shell is added. Thus the electron become more away from the nucleus as many of other electrons are present in the way from nucleus to the outer electrons.

The hold of nucleus becomes weaker. Although nuclear charge is also increased but at the same time other electrons shield the respective electrons. So effective nuclear charge is weaker than the actual nuclear charge.

Because of this shielding it is easy to remove the electrons or we can say ionization energy decreases.

How many significant digits does the number 700 have?

OLga [1]

Answer: 700 has one significant figure which is 7.

Explanation: These are some rules for significant figures

•All non-zero digits are significant: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

•Zero between non-zero digits are significant: They are three significant figures in 203.

•Leading zeros are not significant: There are two significant figures in 0.56.

•Trailing zero to the right of decimal are significant. There are four significant figures in 62.00

•Trailing zeros in a whole number with the decimal shown are significant: This makes "700." three significant figures.

•Trailing zeros in a whole number with no decimal shown are not significant: This makes 700 one significant figure.
