Rubidium because it is lower on the periodic table and therefore has more electrons to shield the valence electrons from the positive core
Korolek [52]2 years ago

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Shielding effect is the effect in which nucleus of an atom is surrounded by number of electrons in such a manner that there will be decrease in attraction between nucleus and valence electrons.

So, more is the number of shells present in an atom more will be its shielding effect. Whereas smaller is the size of atom more will be attraction between its nucleus and valence electrons. So, it would be difficult to remove an electron from the valence shell.

For example, rubidium is larger in size so it has more number of shells and thus more shielding effect.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options rubidium would exhibit the greatest shielding effect.

How does changing the temperature affect the chemical reaction?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Temperature is directly related to kinetic energy (KE). As we raise temperature, we are raising KE, as well. Particles with more KE move more quickly and with more force.

This means that these particles are more likely to collide with each other and react to allow the chemical reaction to follow through. In turn, if the chemical reaction is more likely to go to completion, the reaction rate increases, eliminating A and B.

The concentration of the solute is not affected by the temperature; in other words, temperature will not increase or decrease the amount of solute in the solution, so eliminate D.

Thus the answer is C.

Hope this helps!

Human activities, like burning fossil fuels and deforestation, have greatly contributed to global warming. In this discussion as
Travka [436]

Answer

Africa

Explanation:

Burning fossil fuels and deforestation is disturbingly heightened in Africa with almost no viable measure taking to control it's effect. No effective programs are presently in place to control excessive tree falling used for herbs, firewood, charcoal business and a whole lot. Below standard carbon rating PMS are in high circulation with fumes, carbon monoxide is full abundance in the atmosphere. Presently, all these unchecked activities have resulted into unexplainable excessive increase in temperatures, breeding neck twisting diseases, severe skin infections, dehydration and increase diabetes. Drought has eaten up landlocked cities in Nigeria and Central Africa. Infact farmers have lost count of the usual natural cycle of rainfall and the beginning of each farming season due to this essential evil of climate change
