Detailed calculations show that the value of \(Z_{\text {eff }}\) for the outermost electrons in Si and Cl atoms is \(4.29+\) and \(6.12+\), respectively. (a) What value do you estimate for \(Z_{\text {eff }}\) experienced by the outermost electron in both \(\mathrm{Si}\) and \(\mathrm{Cl}\) by assum

Aquaporins exclude passage of hydronium ions (H30+). But recent research has revealed a role for some aquaporins in fat metabolism, in which they allow passage of glycerol, a three-carbon alcohol (see Figure 5.11), as well as H20. Since H30+ is much closer in size to water than is glycerol, what do y
