This is an exception to the general electronegativity trend. It can be explained by looking at the electron configurations of both elements.

When you remove an electron from beryllium, you are taking away an electron from the 2s orbital. When you remove an electron from boron, you are taking an electron from the 2p orbital. The 2p electrons have more energy than the 2s, so it is easier to remove them as they can more strongly resist the effective nuclear charge of the nucleus.
The answer is group 1A.
In the ionic compound formula X₂SO₄, SO₄ has a -2 charge. Hence to balance this -2 charge of SO₄, X must have a +1 charge.
Group 1A elements form X⁺ type of ions because they are metals. So, they have the tendency to lose electrons.
Hence, X must belong to the 1A group.
Ionic Compounds-
- Ionic compounds are formed by the electrostatic attraction between the anions and the cations.
- Cations are positively charged ions that are formed due to the loss of electrons.
- And the anions are negatively charged ions that are formed due to the gain of electrons.
- Due to this, they have opposite charges and form bonds known as Ionic Bond.

Answer:
Hot material near Earth's surface is more dense and sinks, and when it cools, it becomes less dense and rises.
Explanation:
Convection is a process by which less dense material rises and more dense material sinks near Earth's surface. Water, air, rocks and other materials expands when temperature rises and they become less dense. When the water is heated it becomes vapors and carries away thermal energy from the water.
Water molecules are highly packed and are always near each other.
