The answer to this problem is Beryllium is an alkaline earth metal.
In order to find out the ranking of ions basicity, check the
pKa values of each ions. The principle that you need to remember is that the
stronger the acid the weaker the corresponding conjugate base. The pKa dictates
acid value of the compound. The answer would be CH3NH, CH3O-, and CH3CH2-.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Chlorine is in group 7 or (VII) in Roman numerals, which means it has 7 balance electrons. It only needs one electron to become stable, hence it is next to the noble gases
A grey coloured rock with amphibole and intermediate plagioclase like an andesine would classify as an intermediate rock by Bowen's Reaction Series and by the classification of igneous rocks would probably be like a diorite which is intermediate between a gabbro and a granite. A diorite essentially has no quartz but has the silicates amphibole (like hornblende), mica perhaps a little pyroxene and andesine plagioclase.
