By convention, the symbol Z is assigned to the number of protons in the nucleus, or simply, the atomic number of an element. This is actually used when you want to determine the effective nuclear charge of a specific electron of an element. The equation is:
Z* = Z - S
where
Z* is the effective nuclear charge
Z is the atomic number
S is the number of electrons between the electron in question and the nucleus
There is due to a phenomenon called the shielding effect. This effect states that the farther the electron is from the nucleus, the lesser is its pull of force to the nucleus. That is the reason why the valence electrons (outermost electrons) are the ones always involved in chemicals reactions. Because they are not that strongly bonded to the nucleus of an atom.
Answer : The expression for reaction quotient will be :
(1)
(2)
Explanation :
Reaction quotient : It is defined as the measurement of the relative amounts of products and reactants present during a reaction at a particular time.
(1) The given balanced chemical reaction is,
In this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted. So, the expression for reaction quotient will be :
(2) The given balanced chemical reaction is,
The balanced equation for the given reaction:
C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose) + 6O₂→ 6CO₂ + 6H₂O
So in the balanced equation the coefficients before glucose, oxygen, water and carbon dioxide are 1, 6, 6 and 6 respectively.
Therefore, the sum of the coefficients in the balanced equation
= 1 + 6 + 6 + 6
= 19
The correct answer is 19.

It takes the Earth 24 hours to rotate on its axis and this rotation is what causes there to be days and nights.
