Why does Beryllium have a larger first Ionization energy than boron?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nata [24]3 years ago
7 0
This is an exception to the general electronegativity trend. It can be explained by looking at the electron configurations of both elements.

<span>Be:[He]2<span>s2
</span></span><span>B:[He]2<span>s2</span>2<span>p1

</span></span>

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.

How could you demonstrate boiling point?
EleoNora [17]

A light layer of vacuum grease is applied to the rim of the belljar. Water at room temperature is placed inside and the vacuum pump is then used to evacuate the vessel. When the air pressure is reduced to the vapour pressure of water at room temperature the water will begin to boil.

Complete these structures by adding electron dots as needed.
LiRa [457]
This is hard to show but here is how you would determine these. NOTE each dot is an electron. 
<span>Question 1) </span>
<span>F-H </span>
<span>1) determine the valance electrons for each. F has 7 and H has 1 </span>
<span>2) one electron from both F and H form the bond "-" which means that you still have 6 electrons to place around F and none to place around H. Place the 6 in sets of 2 around the F </span>
<span>.. </span>
<span>F-H </span>
<span>¨ </span>
<span>Question 2) </span>

<span>2) H-O-H </span>
<span>H has 1 valence electron minus 1 used in the bond to O = 0 electrons to place </span>
<span>H has 1 valence electron minus 1 used in the bond to O = 0 electrons to place </span>
<span>O has 6 valence electrons minus 2 used in the bonds to the H's = 4 electrons to place </span>

<span>H-O-H: place two dots above and below the oxygen </span>

<span>Question 3) </span>
<span>3) O=N----H : NOTE: a double bond requires O and N to share two of their electrons each </span>
<span>O has 6 valence electrons minus 2 used in the bonds to N = 4 electrons to place </span>
<span>N has 5 valence electrons minus 3 used in the bonds to O and H = 2 electrons to place </span>
<span>H has 1 valence electron minus 1 used in the bond to N = 0 electrons to place </span>
<span>place the 2 dots on top and bottom of oxygen. </span>
<span>place 2 above the N </span>

Why does nuclear charge increase as you go left to right across a period
MariettaO [177]

 The atomic number increases moving left to right across a period and subsequently so does the effective nuclear charge. Therefore, moving left to right across a period the nucleus has a greater pull on the outer electrons and the atomic radii decreases.
