The answer to this question will be C
Answer:
The nuclear charge increases from boron to carbon, but there is no additional shielding( that is no additional shells).
Explanation:
First of all, we must know the electron configuration of carbon and boron.
Boron- 1s2 2s2 2p1
Carbon- 1s2 2s2 2p2
Moving from boron to carbon, the effective nuclear charge increases without a corresponding increase in the number of shells. Remember that shielding increases with increase in the number of intervening shells between the outermost electron and the nucleus. Since there isn't an increase in shells, boron experience a lower screening effect.
From
Zeff= Z- S
The Z for carbon is 6 while for boron is 5 even though both have the same number of screening electron S(4 screening electrons). Hence it is expected the Zeff(effective nuclear charge) for boron will be less than that of carbon.
Molecules in a gas will have more movement than molecules in a solid. This is because the molecules in solid matter are packed very tightly together to maintain its shape, whereas with gases they are spaced much further apart and fairly free to move. Hope this helps!
Answer:
C. Water passes into the salt solution, dehydrating bacterial cells and making them harmless.
Explanation:
The salt solution is hypertonic to the bacterial cells and as such, water molecules will move from the bacterial cells into the salt solution, dehydrating the cells and rendering them harmless.
Option A is also true but it is irrelevant to the question asked. Option B and D are wrong.
The correct option is C.
