How many electrons would Boron with a +2 charge have?

Chemistry
1 answer:
irina [24]3 years ago
4 0

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

The following combinations are not allowed. If n and ml are correct, change the l value to create an allowable combination:
ololo11 [35]

The allowable combination for the atomic orbital is n=3, l=1 or 2, m_{l}=+1.

<h3>What are the three quantum numbers of an atomic orbital?</h3>

Three quantum numbers specify an atomic orbital:

- The principal quantum number, n, which is a positive integer, describes the relative size of the orbital and its distance from the nucleus.

- l is the angular momentum quantum number that is related to the shape of the orbital; l is an integer from 0 to n-1 (so n limits l ),

- $\boldsymbol{m}_{l}$ is the magnetic quantum number that prescribes the three-dimensional shape of the orbital around the nucleus; m_{l} values are integers from -l to =l(l limits ml)

For n = 3, l can have three values: 0, 1, and 2. Hence, the l value must be lower than 3. Because of m_{l}= +1, the l value must be higher than 0. Two l values are consistent with n and m_{l) values:

l= 1 or 2

Therefore, the allowable condition is n=7, l=1 or 2, m_{l}=+3.
