The answer is the first one: 52,000.

Explanation for each option:

  • 52,000: This is the correct answer. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 52,000 people die each year in the United States from traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).
  • Less than 1,000: This is incorrect. The number of deaths from TBIs is significantly higher than this figure.
  • 1.4 million: This is incorrect. While 1.4 million may refer to the number of people who sustain a TBI each year, it does not represent the number of deaths.
  • 275,000: This is incorrect. This number might be closer to the number of hospitalizations due to TBIs, but not the number of deaths.

Summary: The correct answer is 52,000, which represents the approximate number of people who die each year from traumatic brain injuries.

Computational studies have determined the effective nuclear charge, Zeff, for an electron in a particular 5^5 subshell to a high degree of certainty. The table lists the calculated Zeff values for a 1s, 2s, and 2p orbital of boron. From the provided values of effective nuclear charge, estimate the energy, εn, of a 1s, 2s, and 2p orbital of boron. A rydberg (Ry) is a unit of energy approximately equal to 13.6 eV. B Zeff 1s 4.68 2s 2.58 2p 2.42 In terms of the Bohr radius, a0, estimate the average distance of the electron from the nucleus, r̄(n, ℓ), for an electron in a 1s, 2s, and 2p orbital of boron. r̄(1,0)= square a0 r̄(2,0)= square a0 1s= -21.9024 2s=-1.6647 2p= -1.4641
