The atomic number of Be is 4, and so it has 2 shells. There are valence electrons in the second, which is the outermost, shell of Be. To get the element with one more shell, there would be 3 shells on the new element, and 1 less valence electron, so the new element should have 1 valence electron. Sodium is the element with 3 shells, and one valence electron which fits perfectly into the description.

An element A forms a compound AH3 with hydrogen. Another element B forms a compound BA2 with B. Given that the valency of hydrog
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

A - 3

B - 6

Explanation:

The valency of hydrogen atom is +1

The valancy of an atom of other element combining with the hydrogen atom can be determined from the  number of associated hydrogen.

when H combines with A, three atoms of hydrogen are used. Thus the valency of element A is -3

Now B combines with two molecules of A whose valency is -3

The valency of B would be twice the valency of element A i.e 6

if hydrogen combines with B, then the compound formed will be BH6

Which of these best explains what happens when ice melts to form liquid water?
iVinArrow [24]
Since the question says “these” I assume it was multiple choice...but anyways, intermolecular forces between some of the water molecules are breaking apart. The H2O is going from a tightly packed solid of a fixed volume to a liquid with molecules moving faster and less bonds, which can take the shape of its container. It requires energy to break a bond, so this is an endothermic process.
