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.

Thanks for the help :) Question attached below:

• Take a look at the steps below to see how to balance this equation. Let's start by writing the unbalanced equation given the information.

Unbalanced Equation : C₃H₈ (g) + O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + H₂O (g) ,

Start by Balancing the Carbons : C₃H₈ (g) + O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + H₂O (g)

Now let's balance the Hydrogen : C₃H₈ (g) + O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (g)

Balancing the Oxygen : C₃H₈ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (g)

Balanced Equation : C₃H₈ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (g)

• Let's apply dimensional analysis here,

0.7 L propane × (5 liters Oxygen / 1 liter Propane) = 3.5 Liters of Oxygen

•  Similarly we can identify the liters of carbon dioxide produced in the reaction,

0.7 L propane × (3 liters Carbon Dioxide / 1 liter Propane) = 2.1 Liters of Carbon Dioxide

• 0.7 L propane × (4 liter water vapor / 1 liter propane ) = 2.8 Liters of Water Vapor

Who uses holmium? I need to know for a science project.
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Holmium can absorb neutrons, so it is used in nuclear reactors to keep a chain reaction under control. Its alloys are used in some magnets. Holmium has no known biological role, and is non-toxic. Holmium is found as a minor component of the minerals monazite and bastnaesite.

Explanation:

this is basically used in industries
