Answer:
Option b. Effective nuclear charge increases as we move to the right across a row in the periodic table
Explanation:
The <em>effective nuclear charge </em>is a measure of how strong the protons in the nucleus of an atom attract the outermost electrons of such atom.
The <em>effective nuclear charge</em> is the net positive charge experienced by valence electrons and is calculated (as an approximation) by the equation: Zeff = Z – S, where Z is the atomic number and S is the number of shielding electrons.
The shielding electrons are those electrons in between the interesting electrons and the nucleus of the atom.
Since the shielding electrons are closer to the nucleus, they repel the outermost electrons and so cancel some of the attraction exerted by the positive charge of the nucleus, meaning that the outermost electrons feel less the efect of attraction of the protons. That is why in the equation of Zeff, the shielding electrons (S) subtract the total from the atomic number Z.
The <em>effective nuclear charge</em>, then, is responsible for some properties and trends in the periodic table. Here, you can see how this explains the trend of the atomic radius (size of the atom) accross a row in the periodic table.
- As the<em> effective nuclear charge</em> is larger, in a same row of the periodic table, the shielding effect is lower, the outermost electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus, and the size of the atoms decrease. That is why as we move to the right in the periodic table, the size of the atoms decrease.
You find net charge by subtracting the number of electrons from the number of protons (since protons are positive and electrons are negative). 9 - 10 = -1
Answer:
0.196 m
Explanation:
Given in the question that,
time taken by the dolphin to go back to water = 0.2 sec
To solve the question we will use Newton's Law of motion
<h3>S = ut + 0.5(a)t²</h3>
here S is distance covered
u is initial speed
a = acceleration due to gravity
t = time taken
Plug value in the equation above
S = 0(0.2) + 0.5(-9.8)(0.2)²
S = 0.5(-9.8)(0.2)²
S = -0.196 m
Negative sign represent direction
(Assuming that dolphin have a vertical straight jump not a projectile motion)
Answer:
<h3>The answer is 1400 J</h3>
Explanation:
The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula
PE = mgh
where
m is the mass
h is the height
g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²
From the question we have
PE = 20 × 10 × 7
We have the final answer as
<h3>1400 J</h3>
Hope this helps you
