Answer:

Option B. +3 and +6

Explanation:

<em>Zeff</em> = <em>z - s</em>

where <em>z</em> is the atomic number, <em>s</em> is the number of shielding(non-valence) electrons

For Boron, electronic configuration is 1s²2s³.

z = 5, s = 2

Zeff = 5 - 2 = +3

For Oxygen, electronic configuration is 1s²2s²2p⁴

z = 8, s = 2

Zeff = 8 - 2 = +6

ratelena [41]
Since there is no weight, I would assume that this is a 100g of pure compound.
Okay so I would be changing the percentage to gram to solve for the mole.
So
40.0g C (1 mol C/12.01 g C) = 3.33 mol C
6.73g H (1 mol H/1.01 g H ) = 6.66 mol H
53.3g O (1 mol O/16.00 g O) = 3.33 mol O

With that, two of our moles is 3.33, so we consider that are our 1, as it is also the lowest. Therefore the empirical formula is CH2O

Is wine a homogenous mixure
Fiesta28 [93]

Tap water and rain water are both homogeneous, even though they may have different levels of dissolved minerals and gases. A bottle of alcohol is a man-made homogeneous mixture, from a fine Italian wine to a glass of Scotch whisky. In the human body, blood plasma is an example of a homogeneous mixture.

Would you expect an atom to have a charge?
puteri [66]

Answer:

An atom consists of a positively charged nucleus, surrounded by one or more negatively charged particles called electrons. The positive charges equal the negative charges, so the atom has no overall charge; it is electrically neutral.

I think the answer would be dependent variable. An unknown or changeable quantity is called a dependent variable. It <span>is what you measure in the experiment and what is affected during the experiment. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
