The answer is D I hope this helps you !
Answer:
Four electrons are present in the valence shell of Silicon.
Explanation:
Valence shell electrons are those electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. These valence shell electrons are responsible for in the formation of bonds with other atoms.
Silicon having atomic number 14 has fourteen electrons in its neutral state and has the electronic configuration as follow;
1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p²
In given configuration the valence shell (outermost shell) is 3 and the number of electrons present in it are four i.e. 3s² and 3p² (2 + 2 = 4) respectively.
Se2- has 34 protons and 36 electrons so it gets a 2- charge.
Answer:
Grinding or breaking an Alka-Seltzer tablet increases the number of particles and increases the surface area. Material which was within the tablet is exposed, allowing for more collisions between reactant particles and resulting in an increased rate of reaction.
Answer:

Explanation:
We need to use the formula for heat of vaporization.

Identify the variables.
- The heat absorbed by the evaporating water is the <u>latent heat of vaporization. </u>For water, that is 2260 Joules per gram.
- Q is the energy, in this problem, 50,000 Joules.
- m is the mass, which is unknown.

Substitute the values into the formula.

We want to find the mass. We must isolate the variable, m.
m is being multiplied by 2260 J/g. The inverse operation of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 2260 J/g.


Divide. Note that the Joules (J) will cancel each other out.


Round to the nearest whole number. The 1 in the tenth place tells us to leave the number as is.

The mass is about 22 grams, so choice B is correct.
