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

Chemistry

Nata [24]3 years ago

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.

Given that a 12.00 g milk chocolate bar contains 8.000 g of sugar, calculate the percentage of sugar present in 12.00 g of milk
neonofarm [45]
So in order for us to know the percentage of sugar present in a 12.00 g of milk chocolate, what we are going to do is that, we just have to divide 8 by 12 and multiply in by 100 and we get 66.67. Therefore, the percentage of sugar present in 12.00 g of milk chocolate bar is 66.67%. Hope this answers your question. Have a great day!

Explain why some pesticides bioaccumulate whereas others do not
KatRina [158]
Bioaccumulation refers to the accumulation of chemicals in a living organism. The compound or chemical accumulates at a rate faster than it is being metabolized or excreted by the organism. Chemicals bioaccumulate by binding to the proteins and fats in an organism while others bioaccumulate through the repeated consumption of contaminated organisms. 

Pesticides containing chemicals that dissolve easily in fat but not in water tend to bioaccumulate. Pesticides that contain chemicals that can easily be metabolized by organisms do not bioaccumulate. In summary, the nature of the chemical used in pesticides and the capability of organisms to metabolize the said chemicals can dictate whether it will bioaccumulate or not.
