5 electrons

Boron atomic number 5 has five electrons in its ground state.

Commonly Boron will lose 3 electrons leaving 2 electrons in its most common ionic form.

Explanation:

The atomic number gives the number of protons. Protons which have a positive charge are balanced by an equal number of electrons in a neutral atom.

Boron number 5 has five protons and therefore as a neutral atom also has five electrons.

Boron has an electron configuration of

1s22s22p1

The most stable electron configuration for Boron is

1s2

+ 3 charges. By losing three electrons Boron can achieve the stable electron structure of Helium

Serga [27]

Answer:

Theoretical yield of hydrogen is 1.11 g

Explanation:

Balanced equation, $Mg+2HCl\rightarrow MgCl_{2}+H_{2}$

As Mg remain present in excess therefore HCl is the limiting reagent.

According to balanced equation, 2 moles of HCl produce 1 mol of $H_{2}$ .

Molar mass of HCl = 36.46 g/mol

So, 40.0 g of HCl = $\frac{40.0}{36.46}moles$ of HCl = 1.10 moles of HCl

Hence, theoretically, number of moles of $H_{2}$ are produced from 1.10 moles of HCl = $(\frac{1}{2}\times 1.10)moles=0.550moles$

Molar mass of $H_{2}$ = 2.016 g/mol

So, theoretical yield of $H_{2}$ = $(0.550\times 2.016)g=1.11g$
