The mass number = protons + neutrons. Bromine has a mass number of 80<span> and 35 protons so </span>80<span>-35 = </span>45<span> neutrons. b) How many electrons does the neutral atom of bromine have? The neutral atom of bromine has 35 electrons because the number of electrons equals the number of protons.</span>
Answer:
Energy is released.
Explanation:
When an electron absorbs energy, it moves up into an excited state. When it releases energy, it will return to the ground state.
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.
<span><span>Z<span>eff</span></span>= 14−10= 4</span>
So, the answer is 4.
