Gravity is the force that keeps the planets in orbit.
Zeff is the effective nuclear charge wherein, Z resembles the number of protons in the nucleus while S corresponds to the number of non-valence electrons.
Zeff = Z - S
Silicon has 14 protons; its electron configuration is [Ne] 3s2 3p2. Its
non-valence electrons is in the n = 1 and n =2 shells. There are 2
electrons in n = 1 and 8 in n = 2, so there are a total of 10
non-valence electron.
<span><span>Z<span>eff</span></span>= 14−10= 4</span>
So, the answer is 4.
<span>Answer is: the symbol is Cl.
[Ne ] 3s</span>² 3p⁶ is electric configuration of noble gas argon, neon (Ne) has10 electrons plus 6 electrons in 3s and 3p orbitals. Neutral atom of m<span>onatomic ion that has a charge of 1– has one electron less than argon, so that atom (chlorine) has 17 electrons. Charge of 1- means one electron more for ion: 17 + 1 = 18.
