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.

Imagine a 15kg block moving with a speed of 20m/s. Calculate the kinetic energy of this block.
SSSSS [86.1K]

The kinetic energy formula is;

  • KE=\frac{m.v^2}{2}

The variable m represents the mass. Its unit is kilogram. We are informed that the mass of the object is 15kg. The variable v represents the linear velocity. Its unit is meter per second. We are informed that the linear velocity of the object is 20m/s. Let's find the kinetic energy of the object by substituting these values in the formula.

  • KE=\frac{15kg.(20m/s)^2}{2}
  • 2.KE=15kg.400m^2/s^2
  • 2.KE=(6000)kgm^2/s^2
  • KE=(3000)kgm^2/s^2=3000J

Which is regarding enzyme inhbition
lys-0071 [83]

Explanation:

An enzyme inhibitor is a molecule that binds to an enzyme and decreases its activity. ... Since blocking an enzyme's activity can kill a pathogen or correct a metabolic imbalance, many drugs are enzyme inhibitors. They are also used in pesticides.

For which structure(s) does the electron-bearing carbon atom have a formal charge of zero
AlladinOne [14]

Formal charge can be calculated from the following formula

Formal charge = valency of central atom - (number of lone pair of electrons + number of covalent bonds)

a) for methylene:

Formal charge = 4 -( 2+ 2) = 0

b) For methyl free radical

Formal charge = 4- (3 +1) = 0
