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.

There can only be two electrons in the innermost shell of an atom so b is the correct answer
Answer:
Lead Pb
Explanation:
Firstly, we need to know what occurs when a radioisotope emits an alpha particle. An alpha particle is an helium atom. When an isotope emits an alpha particle, it loses an helium atom corresponding to subtracting 4 from its mass number and 2 from its atomic number. This of course coupled with the release of radiation.
Now, we polonium has a proton number of 84 and a mass number of 210. Subtracting 2 and 4 respectively from its proton and mass numbers will yield 82 and 206 proton and mass numbers respectively.
Hence, the decomposition of the Po-210 isotope will yield an element with 82 proton number and 206 mass number. This corresponds to the element Lead.
210Po ——> 206Pb + alpha particle + radiation
Answer:
Baking Soda a base
Explanation:
We know that to neutralize an acid we add base to it. Baking Soda is a type of base so when we add Baking Soda or any other base to battery acid or any other acid we can neutralize it and get salt and water.
Acids are the substance which are sour in taste and can turn blue litmus paper red. For example, Lemon and Orange.
Bases are the substance which are bitter in taste and can turn red litmus paper blue. For example, Baking Soda and Soap.
