<span>Effective nuclear charge is an estimate of the charge experienced by the valence electrons.
</span><span>Sulfur has 6 valence electrons and a charge of 6+.
</span><span>The 3s electrons in sulfur are the 3p electrons, because the former spend more time closer to the nucleus.</span>
<span>Using Slater's Rules, effective nuclear charge of sulfur is +5.5.
2) No!</span><span> The Zeff doesn't differ from ions and atoms of the same element.</span>
Found the choices. Pls see attachment.
The statements that explains this phenomenon are:
1) DNA contains adenine as one of its nitrogenous bases.
2) DNA has a double-stranded structure that ensures an accurate mechanism of duplication.
Atomic oxygen does not have a greater atomic mass than chlorine, nor does molecular oxygen.
Hope this help...
Answer:
NUCLEAR ENERGY -----> MECHANICAL ENERGY -------> THERMAL ENERGY --------> ELECTRICAL ENERGY
Explanation:
In nuclear reactor, various energy transformations occur in order to generate electricity. Nuclear reactor converts the energy released from nuclear fission and the heat generated is removed from the reactor by a cooling system where steam is generated. The steam then drives a turbine which powers a generator to produce electricity.
A nuclear reactor is hence an equipment where nuclear chain reactions occur and control can be obtained. The nuclear reactor uses mostly uranium-235 and Plutonium-239. When these radioactive substances absorbs neutrons, they undergo nuclear fission causing the nucleus to split into two or more smaller compounds with the release of kinetic energy a form of mechanical energy, gamma radiations and others.The kinetic energy is then harnessed in the equipment as heat (thermal energy) which is received by a cooling system and steam is generated. The steam can then power the generator from which electricity is obtained (electrical energy).
So therefore, in a nuclear reactor, the nuclear energy is transformed to mechanical energy and then thermal energy which powers the generation of the electrical energy.
