20. Select the false statement below. A) Generally speaking, as you go across a period in the periodic table, the effective nuclear charge (Zeff) increases because each successive element contains more protons in the nucleus than the previous element and the outer electrons are all in the same shell as you go across a period. B) Generally speaking, the heavier halogens can be predicted to exhibit greater shielding of the outer-shell electrons by the inner-shell electrons than lighter halogens. C) Generally speaking, non-metallic elements have less effective nuclear charge (Zeff) than metallic elements in the same period. D) Generally speaking, as you go down a group in the periodic table, there is successively greater shielding of the outer-shell electrons by the inner-shell electrons.

your answer would be a. 12.5 kg

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
