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

ddd [48]

Answer:

2/3

Explanation:

Crystals structures can also be seen when two elements combines together and the perfect example is Al₂O₃ which is given in the question above. Just like it is given in the question above, the kind of arrangement in the crystal structure for Al₂O₃ is called HCP which stands for Hexagonally Closed Pack.

The aluminum ions which is in form of Al³⁺ occupies the two-third[2/3] positions while the position that the oxygen ion occupies is one[1].

A diver exhales a bubble with a volume of 250 mL at a pressure of 2.4 atm and a temperature of 15 °C. What is the volume of the
alexdok [17]

Answer : The volume of the bubble is, 625 mL

Explanation :

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 2.4 atm

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 1.0 atm

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 250 mL

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 15^oC=273+15=288K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 27^oC=273+27=300K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{2.4atm\times 250mL}{288K}=\frac{1.0atm\times V_2}{300K}

V_2=625mL

Therefore, the volume of the bubble is, 625 mL

Which metal can be used as a sacrificial electrode to prevent the rusting of an iron pipe? auau cucu mnmn agag
Cerrena [4.2K]

Mn metal can be used as a sacrificial electrode to prevent the rusting of an iron pipe. So, the correct option is (c) Mn.

Commonly, sacrificial electrodes are employed to stop another metal from corroding or oxidising. A metal that is more reactive than the metal being shielded must serve as the sacrificial electrode. Magnesium, aluminium, and zinc are the three metals most frequently used in sacrificial anodes.

Manganese-Magnesium (Mn-Mg) electrode is more suited for on-shore pipelines where the electrolyte (soil or water) resistivity is higher since it has the highest negative electropotential of the three. In order to replenish any electrons that could have been lost during the oxidation of the shielded metal, the highly active metal offers its electrons.

Therefore, Mn metal can be used as a sacrificial electrode to prevent the rusting of an iron pipe. So, the correct option is (c) Mn.
