The valence electron of a sodium atom does not sense the full +11 of the sodium nucleus. Why not?
 
  A) There are two non-valence shell electrons shielding the sodium nucleus from sensing it.
  B) There are two inner shells of electrons containing ten electrons shielding the sodium nucleus from sensing it.
  C) Since the +11 charge is spread evenly around the entire spherical surface of the nucleus, the actual force of the charge in any given direction is greatly diminished.
  D) The distance from the nucleus to the loosely held lone valence electron varies greatly over time. So, the average sense of charge from the nucleus is considerably less than +11.

Question 2

Any technology ________.
 
  A) has some risks
  B) should have no risks before being used
  C) has a very high risk of causing certain types of cancer
  D) only has risks when being used without care

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
