2. Each of the following is a property of minerals except

A child pushes a desk with a force of 15 N to the right. The desk accelerates to the right. Which of the following statements co

ratelena [41]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: number 1

Explanation:

Third law of Newton: says that for every action ,there is an equal and opposite reaction.

So, if the child is pushing an object to the right, it will recipe the same amount of force that he is exerting to the object but in opposite direction.

Number 2 and 3 are incorrect because, because the third law of Newton says "an equal and opposite reaction", not slightly more or less.

Number 4 is wrong, it is not in agreement with Newton's third law of motion.

What does the atomic weight of an element represent

Marrrta [24]

The nuclei of atoms also contain neutrons, which help hold the nucleus together. ... The total weight of an atom is called the atomic weight. It is approximately equal to the number of protons and neutrons, with a little extra added by the electrons.

The mass of a given atom, measured on a scale in which the hydrogen atom has the weight of one. Because most of the mass in an atom is in the nucleus, and each proton and neutron has an atomic weight near one, the atomic weight is very nearly equal to the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

Effective nuclear charge, Zeff, is defined as:

Alborosie

Answer:

The effective nuclear charge for a valence electron in oxygen atom: $Z_{eff} = 4.55$

Explanation:

Effective nuclear charge $[Z_{eff}]$ is the net nuclear charge experienced by the electron in a given atom. It is always less than the actual charge of the nucleus [Z], due to shielding by electrons in the inner shells.

It is equal to the difference between the actual nuclear charge or the atomic number (Z) and the shielding constant (s).

$\Rightarrow Z_{eff} = Z - s$

For an oxygen atom-

Electron configuration: (1s²) (2s² 2p⁴)

The atomic number (actual nuclear charge): Z = 8

The shielding constant (s) for a valence electron can be calculated by using the Slater's rules:

⇒ s = 5 × 0.35 + 2 × 0.85 = 1.75 + 1.7 = 3.45

Therefore, the effective nuclear charge for a valence electron in oxygen atom is:

$Z_{eff} = Z - s = 8 - 3.45 = 4.55$

Therefore, the effective nuclear charge for a valence electron in oxygen atom: $Z_{eff} = 4.55$
