BRAINLIEST + 20 POINTS FOR BEST ANSWER!!!
The image compares the arrangement of electrons in two different neutral atoms.

Which of the following best explains the position of the two atoms in the periodic table?

A. Both atoms have Zeff of 8; therefore, Atom D is to the right of Atom E.
B. Both atoms have Zeff of 2; therefore, Atom D is below Atom E in the same column.
C. Atom D has a Zeff of 6 and is therefore to the right of Atom E, which has a Zeff of 5.
D. Atom D has a Zeff of 14 and is therefore above Atom E in the same column, which has a Zeff of 13.

The answer is: C) Atom D has a Zeff of 6 and is therefore to the right of Atom E, which has a Zeff of 5.

Answer:

C. Atom D has a Zeff of 6 and is therefore to the right of Atom E, which has a Zeff of 5.

Explanation:

Zeff means the effective nuclear charge and it is equal to the atomic number (number of protons) less the core electrons (all the electrons less the valence electrons).

Zeff=number of protons − number of core electrons
