Chemistry

Answer:  None of the options

Explanation: 2, 8, 4 represents a total of 14  electrons.  

The 2:   1s^2

The 8:  2s^2 2p^6

The 4:   3s^2 3p^2

Assuming a neutral atom, 14 electrons represnt element #14, Silicon.  The electron configuration matches that of silicon,  But silicon is in group  14, which is not in the options.  It is a metalloid, so if there is another grouping system, use the nuimber assigned to the metalloids.  But the word "Group"normally refers to the column number, 14 for silicon.  And I've never heard of Group 0.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:In biology, a key idea is that structure determines function. In other words, the way something is arranged enables it to play its role, fulfill its job, within an organism. Structure-function relationships arise through the process of natural selection.

Which of the following statements about the effective nuclear charge (Zeff) is correct?
vovangra [49]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The effective nuclear charge refers to the attraction that a particular electron in its orbit feels for the nuclear charge. Across the period, there is an increase in nuclear charge without any corresponding increase in the number of shells. Hence the effective nuclear charge increases as outermost electrons feel the attractive force of the nucleus all the more. However, down the group, the increase in nuclear charge is counteracted by increase in the number of shells. The effective nuclear charge then remains fairly constant down the group.
