Answer:
I think C (Might not be true)
Explanation:
To rank the effective nuclear charge Z* experienced by a valence electrons of a set of atoms that belong to a same period, you only need to apply the rule of trend: it increases as you move from left to right in the period.
So, lets do it for these atoms: P, Al, Si, Cl
The belong to a same period and the order is Al, Si, P, Cl (just see a periodic table). So the rank is Al < Si < P < Cl
Now, lets do it for these atoms:, Be, Ne, O, C
They belong to the second period. The order is Be, C, O, Ne
So, the rank is Be < C < O < Ne.
Answer:
It is true that earth was once covered with oceans and little dry land.
Explanation:
Over the course of around four billion years, the Earth's oceans have lost about a quarter of their original mass. Today the atmosphere is rich in oxygen, which reacts with both hydrogen and deuterium to recreate water, which falls back to the Earth's surface. So the vast bulk of the water on Earth is held in a closed system that prevents the planet from gradually drying out. According to the researchers, the continents emerged relatively suddenly from an ocean that covered 95 percent of the Earth's surface. The appearance of large masses of dry land would have caused more extreme weather, changes in ocean currents and the emergence of proper seasons. In turn, these environmental changes may have led to rise in atmospheric oxygen that enabled the explosion of new life forms around 500 million years ago.
