C. Melting ice.
It is C because melting ice is a change of state from solid to liquid which requires an addition of energy(or entropy) into the system.
Condensation of water occurs from a gas to a liquid state, which takes energy out of the system(water) and gives it to the surroundings(air around it). Freezing water is the same as condensation except for the state change. Deposition is simply gas to a solid instantaneously so you can again see it as with the other two examples.
The effective nuclear charge is an innate property of a specific element. It is the pull of force that an electron feels from the nucleus. It is related to the valence electron by the equation: Z* = Z-S, where Z* is the effective nuclear charge, Z is the atomic number and S is the shielding constant.
For the following elements in the choices, these are their values of Z*:
Aluminum - +12.591
Beryllium - +1.912
Hydrogen - +1
Carbon - +4
The effective nuclear charge of Boron is +3. Thus, the answers are Aluminum and Carbon.
Answer:
The correct answer is - option D. photosynthesis.
Explanation:
It is shown by the study that most of the atmospheric oxygen comes from the photosynthesis by plants as oxygen is the byproduct of the photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process that uses light energy, carbon dioxide, and water to produce food or glucose/sugar and release oxygen as the byproduct.
Many scientists believe that oceanic phytoplankton that releases oxygen by the photosynthesis process makes 80 to 85% of the total oxygen of the atmospheric oxygen.
