Hey there!
The answer is D, Salinity.
Salinity is the concentration of salt in water. Ocean water often has high salinity and this can contribute to things like upwelling and water density- but these all start from salinity.
Hope this helps!
We have to get the relationship between metallic character and atomic radius.
Metallic character increases with increase in atomic radius and decrease with decrease of atomic radius.
If electrons from outermost shell of an element can be removed easily, that atom can be considered to have more metallic character.
With increase in atomic radius, nuclear force of attraction towards outermost shell electron decreases which facilitates the release of electron.
With decrease in atomic radius, nuclear force of attraction towards outermost shell electrons increases, so electrons are hold tightly to nucleus. Hence, removal of electron from outermost shell becomes difficult making the atom less metallic in nature.
Zn = 28.15%
Cl = 30.53%
O = 41.32%
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Zn(CIO3)2 compound
Required
The % composition
Solution
Ar Zn = 65.38
Ar Cl = 35,453
Ar O = 15,999
MW Zn(CIO3)2 = 232.3
Zn = 65,38/232.3 x 100% = 28.15%
Cl = (2 x 35.453) / 232.3 x 100% = 30.53%
O = (6 x 15.999) / 232.3 x 100% = 41.32%
