By convention, the symbol Z is assigned to the number of protons in the nucleus, or simply, the atomic number of an element. This is actually used when you want to determine the effective nuclear charge of a specific electron of an element. The equation is:
Z* = Z - S
where
Z* is the effective nuclear charge
Z is the atomic number
S is the number of electrons between the electron in question and the nucleus
There is due to a phenomenon called the shielding effect. This effect states that the farther the electron is from the nucleus, the lesser is its pull of force to the nucleus. That is the reason why the valence electrons (outermost electrons) are the ones always involved in chemicals reactions. Because they are not that strongly bonded to the nucleus of an atom.
Answer:
Look at the properties of Oxygen and Silicon - the two most abundant elements in the Earth's crust - by clicking on their symbols on the Periodic Table.

An object that is traveling around another body in space is in ORBIT around that body
Answer:
172.385 g/mol
Explanation:
Magnesium Tartrate is C4H4MgO6
C - 12.01 g/mol
H - 1.01 g/mol
Mg - 24.305 g/mol
O - 16.00 g/mol
12.01(4) + 1.01(4) + 24.305 + 16(6) = 172.385 g/mol
