Answer:
Water would not be able to transport nutrients -‐-‐ in plants, or in our bodies -‐-‐ nor to dissolve and transport waste products out of our bodies. ... Cohesiveness, adhesiveness, and surface tension: would decrease because without the +/-‐ polarity, water would not form hydrogen bonds between H20 molecules.
<u>Answer: </u>The correct statement is X is the effective nuclear charge, and it increases across a period.
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given that:
X = number of protons − number of core electrons
Effective nuclear charge is defined as the actual nuclear charge (Z = number of protons) minus the screening effect caused by the electrons present between nucleus and valence electrons. These electrons are the core electrons.
The formula used for the calculation of effective nuclear charge given by Slater is:

where,
= effective nuclear charge
Z = atomic number or actual nuclear charge or number of protons
= Screening constant
The effective nuclear charge increases as we go from left to right in a period because nuclear charge increases with no effective increase in screening constant.
Hence, the correct answer is X is the effective nuclear charge, and it increases across a period.
The correct answer is A, B and C
Answer:
<u>Mass concentration (g/L) </u><u><em>= 2.49g/L.</em></u>
Explanation:
No. of moles = 
=
= 0.001245 moles
Concentration of KHP (C1) in litres = n/v
=
= 0.062 mol/L
We know that:
=
where c1v1 and c2v2 are the products of concentration and volumes of KHP and NaOH respectively.
Since mole ratio is 1 : 1.
1 mole of NaOH - 40g
0.001245 mole of NaOH = 40 × 0.001245 = 0.0498g
⇒0.0498g of NaOH was used during the titration
<u><em>∴Mass concentration (g/L) = 0.0498g ÷ 0.02L</em></u>
<u><em>= 2.49g/L.</em></u>
Lithium is an element that has an electronic configuration of 2,1. So when forming bonds, it tries to release one of its electrons in the last shell to reach the octet state. Normally when atoms release electrons they get positive charge since the number of protons which bear positive charge, is higher than number of electrons which bear negative charge. So when reaching its octet state, lithium gains positive charge!
Hope this helps! Tbh am not good at explaining. If u have any doubts, ask me!
