<u>Answer: </u>The correct statement is X is the effective nuclear charge, and it increases across a period.
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given that:
X = number of protons − number of core electrons
Effective nuclear charge is defined as the actual nuclear charge (Z = number of protons) minus the screening effect caused by the electrons present between nucleus and valence electrons. These electrons are the core electrons.
The formula used for the calculation of effective nuclear charge given by Slater is:

where,
= effective nuclear charge
Z = atomic number or actual nuclear charge or number of protons
= Screening constant
The effective nuclear charge increases as we go from left to right in a period because nuclear charge increases with no effective increase in screening constant.
Hence, the correct answer is X is the effective nuclear charge, and it increases across a period.
<span> d. Reduced visibility
Acid rain doesn't reduce visibility, smog does

Answer is: gamma emission or gamma decay.
<span>During gamma emission the nucleus emits radiation without changing its composition, if for example have nucleus with six protons and six neutrons (carbon atom) and after gamma decay there is nucleus with six protons and six neutrons.
</span>Gamma rays are the
electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths (1 pm), highest
frequencies (300 EHz) and highest energy (1,24 MeV).

0,145 moles of KMnO4----------in--------1000ml
x moles of KMnO4---------------in------------46ml
x = 0,00667 moles of KMnO4
according to the reaction:
2 moles of KMnO4------------------5 moles of H2O2
0,00667 moles of KMnO4----------------x
x = 0,01668 moles of H2O2
