Early scientists think that plate motion was driven by

Scientist Alfred Wegener thought in the early through middle 1900s that the plate movement was a "modern" version of the continental drift.
Today's scientists have now proven that plate motion is driven by the currents of convection in the asthenosphere and the overlying lithosphere. The downward pull on the plates cause the motion.

I hope this helps!

How many moles of chlorine (Cl) atoms are in a sample of 1.72 × 1022 atoms? 0.0286 mol Cl 35.0 mol Cl 1.03 × 1023 mol Cl 1.04 ×

kogti [31]

Given information : Sample of $1.72\times 10^{22} atoms$

We need to find the moles of Chlorine in the given sample.

We can say that we need to find moles from the given atoms.

Relation between mole and atom is given by : $1 mole = 6.022\times 10^{23} atoms$

Where $6.022\times 10^{23}$ is Avogadro number.

$1.72\times 10^{22} atoms\times \frac{1 mole}{6.022\times 10^{23} atoms}$

$1.72\times 10^{22}\times \frac{1 mole}{6.022\times 10^{23}}$

On solving the above equation , atoms(unit) gets cancelled out and we get 0.0286 mol.

In the given sample the moles of Chlorine (Cl) is 0.0286 mol , so option A is correct.

3. Determine the Zeff value of Uranium, also indicate (based on your answer with mathematical calculations) which electron will

Ilya [14]

Explanation:

Electronic configuration of uranium is given below -

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁶4d¹⁰5s²5p⁶4f¹⁴5d¹⁰6s²6p⁶5f³6d¹7s2²

Effective nuclear charge (Z eff) = Atomic number (Z) - Shielding constant (S)

<u> Value of Shielding constant (S) can be calculated by using slater's rule : </u>

S = 1 (0.35) + 9 (0.85) + 81 (1.00)

S = 0.35 + 7.65 + 81.00

S = 89

So,

Zeff = Z - S

Zeff = 92 - 89

<u> Zeff = 3 </u>

Hence, Effective nuclear charge (Zeff) of uranium = <u>3 </u>

5s electron is closest to the nucleus.
