Answer:
The nuclear charge increases from boron to carbon, but there is no additional shielding( that is no additional shells).
Explanation:
First of all, we must know the electron configuration of carbon and boron.
Boron- 1s2 2s2 2p1
Carbon- 1s2 2s2 2p2
Moving from boron to carbon, the effective nuclear charge increases without a corresponding increase in the number of shells. Remember that shielding increases with increase in the number of intervening shells between the outermost electron and the nucleus. Since there isn't an increase in shells, boron experience a lower screening effect.
From
Zeff= Z- S
The Z for carbon is 6 while for boron is 5 even though both have the same number of screening electron S(4 screening electrons). Hence it is expected the Zeff(effective nuclear charge) for boron will be less than that of carbon.

The best answer among the choices is the first option. The chemical property of soda is that it is a highly basic substance. Its chemical name is sodium carbonate. It is more basic than sodium bicarbonate. Adding soda ash in a solution would increase the pH of the solution.
Answer:
four covalent bonds
Explanation:
A carbon atom would form 4 covalent bonds.
For a covalent bond to be formed, an atom would share its valence electrons with another. In this process, each atom would require unpaired electrons for this bond to be formed. The number of available unpaired electrons would represent the number of electrons needed to complete the outer energy level of the atom.
In a carbon atom, we have no lone pair of electrons and 4 unpaired electrons. When these 4 electrons are shared with those of other atoms, they produce a complete octet which perfectly mimics the noble gases.
