Boron shows analogous behaviour with silicon. Every compound of Boron have +3 oxidation state, while as we go down the the oxidation state become +1 and +3. For example, gallium, indium, etc.

Similarly, every compound of silicon has the element in the ⁺4 oxidation state. In contrast, most compounds of lead have the element in the ⁺2 state because of inert pair effect.

<h3>What is Inert pair effect? </h3>

The inert-pair effect is defined as the tendency of two electrons in the outermost atomic s-orbital almost remain unshared in the compounds of the post-transition metals.

<h3>How we calculate Oxidation state? </h3>
  • Each atom in an element either be in its uncombined or free state has oxidation number of zero. Such as each atom in H₂, Cl₂ , P4, ,O₂ , Na, Al, O3, S8, and Mg, all have an oxidation number zero.
  • The oxidation state of ions that comprise of only one atom is the actual charge on the ion.
  • The oxidation state of hydrogen is +1, excluding when it is bonded to metals having two elements. For example, CaH2, its oxidation state is –1.
  • Fluorine and other halogens have an oxidation state equal to –1 when they appear as a form of halide ions in their compounds.

Since the inert pair effect increases as we go down the group and become more predominant, therefore, the stability of +2 oxidation state goes on increasing down the group. Therefore, gallium, indium are mostly found in +1 oxidation state.

Thus, we concluded that Boron shows analogous behaviour with silicon. Every compound of Boron have +3 oxidation state, while as we go down the the oxidation state become +1 and +3. For example, gallium, indium, etc.

Answer:

Explanation:

The Lanthanides were first discovered in 1787 when a unusual black mineral was found in Ytterby, Sweden. This mineral, now known as Gadolinite, was later separated into the various Lanthanide elements. In 1794, Professor Gadolin obtained yttria, an impure form of yttrium oxide, from the mineral.

An object accelerates 8.2 m/s2 when a force of 20.1 Newton's is applied to it. What is the mass of the object?
Shalnov [3]
Hey it's me again haha!

the answer to your question is:

answer: so f=20.1

a=8.2

m=?

f=ma

20.1 = 8.2*m in

20.1/8.2=m

so the answer is around 2.45 something!
also i'm sorry this question had be stumbled!
