Zeff = Z - S
Here, Z is the number of protons in the nucleus, that is, atomic number, and S is the number of nonvalence electrons.
For boron, the electronic configuration is 1s₂ 2s₂ 2p₄
Z = 5, S = 2
Zeff = 5-2 = +3
For O, electronic configuration is 1s₂ 2s₂ 2p₄
Z = 8, S = 2
Zeff = 8-2 = +6
Hence, the correct answer is second option, that is, +3 and +6, the Zeff of boron is smaller in comparison to O, thus, boron exhibits a bigger size than O.
Explanation:
There is variety of evidence that supports the claims that plate tectonics accounts for
(1) the distribution of fossils on different continents
,(2) the occurrence of earthquakes, and
(3) continental and ocean floor features including mountains, volcanoes, faults, and trenches.

Answer:
1, 3, 2
Explanation:
N2 + H2 → NH3
I usually find that the best way to systematically balance an equation by inspection is to start with the most complicated-looking formula and then balance atoms in the order:
- All atoms other than O and H
- O
- H
(a) The most complicated formula is NH3.
(b) Balance N.
We have 1 H in NH3, but 2 N on the left. We need 2 N on the right. Put a 1 in front of N2 and a 2 in front of NH3.
1N2 + H2 → 2NH3
(c) Balance H.
We have fixed 6 H on the right, so we need 6 H on the left. Put a 3 in front of H2.
1N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3
The equation is now balanced, and the coefficients are 1, 3, 2.
Thus, there are 1.47 × 10^(23) molecules present in 122 grams of NO2.
