Complete the sentences to explain what a similar treatment would predict for the effective nuclear charge on boron valence electrons and whether you would expect the effective nuclear charge to be different for borons 2s electrons compared to its 2p electron. (hint: consider the shape of the 2p orbital compared to that of the 2s orbital.)

ZcH's electrons = 5-2 = +3.

ZcH for inner electrons = -5 - 0 = +5.

Explanation:

Boron 1s² 2s² 2p

As, 2s ⇒ 2.58.

2p ⇒ 2.42.

Electrons = +3.

Greater than 2 cm = 0.35

Slightly greater than +3 .

the number of protons in the nucleus of a given element. has slight luster and conducts electricity at high temperatures like metal.but like a nonmetal,boron is brittle and does not conduct electricity well at low temperatures. in graphite, carbon is a soft,brittle solid.it is reflective,ductile,or malleable.
