Zeff = Z - S

Here, Z is the number of protons in the nucleus, that is, atomic number, and S is the number of nonvalence electrons.

For boron, the electronic configuration is 1s₂ 2s₂ 2p₄

Z = 5, S = 2

Zeff = 5-2 = +3

For O, electronic configuration is 1s₂ 2s₂ 2p₄

Z = 8, S = 2

Zeff = 8-2 = +6

Hence, the correct answer is second option, that is, +3 and +6, the Zeff of boron is smaller in comparison to O, thus, boron exhibits a bigger size than O.

He standard reduction potentials of lithium metal and chlorine gas are as follows: reaction reduction potential (v) li+(aq)+e−→l
AURORKA [14]

 2 Li(s)  +Cl₂→  2 Li⁺ (aq)  + 2Cl⁻ (aq)

The cell potential   of  the reaction above   is +4.40V

<em><u>calculation</u></em>

Cell  potential  =∈° red - ∈° oxidation

in  reaction above  Li  is  oxidized from oxidation state 0 to +1 therefore the∈° oxid = -3.04

  Cl  is  reduce   from oxidation  state 0 to -1 therefore  the ∈°red = +1.36 V

cell  potential is therefore = +1.36 v -- 3.04  = + 4.40 V

The weight of a sack potato in india is 50kgf. will the weight increase or decrease in bhutan. why​
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Assume that the sack was initially close to the sea level. Its weight will increase even though its mass stays the same.

Explanation:

The weight of an object typically refers to the size of the planet's gravitational attraction (a force) on this object. That's not the same as the mass of the object. The weight of an object at a position depends on the size of the gravitational field there; on the other hand, the mass of the object is supposed to be same regardless of the location- as long as the object stays intact.

Let g denote the strength of the gravitational field at a certain point. If the mass of an object is m, its weight at that point will be m \cdot g.

Indeed, g \approx 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1} on many places of the earth. However, this value is accurate only near the sea level. The equation for universal gravitation is a more general way for finding the strength of the gravitational field at an arbitrary height. Let G denote the constant of universal gravitation, and let M denote the mass of the earth. At a distance r from the center of the earth (where

\displaystyle g \approx \frac{G \cdot M}{r^2}.

The elevation of many places in Bhutan are significantly higher than that of many places in India. Therefore, a sack of potato in Bhutan will likely be further away from the center of the earth (larger r) compared to a sack of potato in India.

Note, that in the approximation, the value of g is (approximately, because the earth isn't perfectly spherical) inversely proportional to the distance from the center of the planet. The gravitational field strength

On the other hand, the weight of an object of fixed mass is proportional to the gravitational field strength. Therefore, the same bag of potatoes will have a smaller weight at most places in Bhutan compared to most places in India.

PLEASE HELP!! (I will mark brainiest) (REAL ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!)
Inessa [10]

The phosphate group of one nucleotide bonds covalently with the sugar molecule of the next nucleotide, and so on, forming a long polymer of nucleotide monomers. The sugar–phosphate groups line up in a “backbone” for each single strand of DNA, and the nucleotide bases stick out from this backbone. The carbon atoms of the five-carbon sugar are numbered clockwise from the oxygen as 1′, 2′, 3′, 4′, and 5′ (1′ is read as “one prime”). The phosphate group is attached to the 5′ carbon of one nucleotide and the 3′ carbon of the next nucleotide. In its natural state, each DNA molecule is actually composed of two single strands held together along their length with hydrogen bonds between the bases.
