Answer:

Option b. Effective nuclear charge increases as we move to the right across a row in the periodic table

Explanation:

The <em>effective nuclear charge </em>is a measure of how strong the protons in the nucleus of an atom attract the outermost electrons of such atom.

The <em>effective nuclear charge</em> is the net positive charge experienced by valence electrons and is calculated (as an approximation) by the equation: Zeff = Z – S, where Z is the atomic number and S is the number of shielding electrons.

The shielding electrons are those electrons in between the interesting electrons and the nucleus of the atom.

Since the shielding electrons are closer to the nucleus, they repel the outermost electrons and so cancel some of the attraction exerted by the positive charge of the nucleus, meaning that the outermost electrons feel less the efect of attraction of the protons. That is why in the equation of Zeff, the shielding electrons (S) subtract the total from the atomic number Z.

The <em>effective nuclear charge</em>, then, is responsible for some properties and trends in the periodic table. Here, you can see how this explains the trend of the atomic radius (size of the atom) accross a row in the periodic table.

  • As the<em> effective nuclear charge</em> is larger, in a same row of the periodic table, the shielding effect is lower, the outermost electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus, and the size of the atoms decrease. That is why as we move to the right in the periodic table, the size of the atoms decrease.

It is correct to say that impulse is equal toA) momentum.B) the change in momentum.C) the force multiplied by the distance the f
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

B) the change in momentum

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as the product between the force exerted on an object (F) and the contact time (\Delta t)

I=F \Delta t

Using Newton's second law (F = ma), we can rewrite the force as product of mass (m) and acceleration (a):

I=(ma) \Delta t

However, the acceleration is the ratio between the change in velocity (\Delta v) and the contact time (\Delta t): a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}, so the previous equation becomes

I=m \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\Delta t

And by simplifying \Delta t,

I=m \Delta v

which corresponds to the change in momentum of the object.

Afina-wow [57]

Explanation:

Understanding that stars are naturally quite hot, imagine I pulled a piece of hot iron from a furnace. It would glow a bright red, and then slowly fade to black as the iron cools.

White dwarfs glow for the same reason - they are HOT!

A technician is diagnosing a car that had both front brake hoses replaced 5,000 miles ago. An inspection reveals that the right
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Option B

Technician B only is correct

Explanation:

Technician a is wrong because the rupture was not caused by switching DOT (Department of Transportation) 3 and DOT 4 Brake fluids. As a matter of fact both brake fluids are compatible with most vehicular systems, and to a certain extent they can be used interchangeably without any adverse effect.

Technician B on the other hand, gives a more accurate reason, since a twisted brake hose will definitely fail and rupture once enough force is applied to it, which is most likely the case of what happened considering the mileage it ran before rupturing. Within this mileage, it is very possible for the pressure on the already twisted brake hose to have been damaging it gradually before finally making it to rupture.

At some distance from a point charge, the electric potential is 635.0 V and the magnitude of the electric field is 189.0 N/C. Fi
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The distance from the charge is 3.35 m.                

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric potential, V = 635 V

Magnitude of electric field, E = 189 N/C

We need to find the distance from the charge. We know that the relation between electric field and electric potential is given by :

E=\dfrac{V}{d}

d is the distance from charge

d=\dfrac{V}{E}\\\\d=\dfrac{635}{189}\\\\d=3.35\ m

So, the distance from the charge is 3.35 m. Hence, this is the required solution.
