same shell is negligible.

Answer:

Oxygen : 6.3

Carbon : 4.3

Explanation:

The steps to calculate the Zeff is :

1)  Write  the electronic configuration.

Carbon: 1s2 2s2 2p2

Oxygen: 1s2 2s2 2p4

2) there are two core electrons in each atom and four in carbon and six in oxygen.

(1s) (2s2p)

3) as mentioned the shielding of electrons within the same shell is negligible.

4) for electron of s or p orbital  the shielding contribution by the electrons having a principal quantum number less by one would be 0.85 each. And all electrons further left would contribute an amount of 1.0 each.

5) For oxygen:

Zeff = Z - S

S = 2X0.85 = 1.7

Zeff = 8- 1.7 = 6.3

For carbon

Zeff = Z - S

S = 2X0.85 = 1.7

Zeff = 6- 1.7 = 4.3

H2, N2, O2 molecules. . . A)must be polar. must be nonpolar. . B)can be polar or nonpolar depending on geometric . C)configurati
LenKa [72]

Answer: The correct option is A.

Explanation: The given molecules are the molecules of same element.

These molecules are considered as diatomic species.

Polar molecules are the molecules in which some polarity is present in the bond. These molecules are formed when there is some difference in the electronegativities of the elements. Example: HCl

Non-polar molecules are the molecules where no polarity is present in the bond. These molecules are formed when there is no difference in the electronegativities of the elements. Example: H_2, O_2

The given molecules are non-polar in nature.

Hence, these molecules must be non-polar. So, the correct option is A.
