An increase in motion and less attraction between particles
Answer:
22.6According to the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of reactants should be equal to the total mass of products. Here, total mass of reactants= 11.3+11.3=22.6
•
• • Mass of Hcl produced=22.6 g
The nucleus of an atom contain neutrons and protons, and energy levels surround the nucleus, in rings and contain electrons
Explanation:
To delineate the the nature of the bonds that would be formed between the two elements, let us first write the electronic configuration of the two species;
Be = 2, 2
F = 2, 7
Beryllium is a metal with two valence electrons whereas fluorine is a halogen with seven valence electrons.
When Be loses two electrons it becomes isoelectronic with He;
Be → Be²⁺ + 2e⁻
Also, when fluorine gains an electron, it becomes isoelectronic with Ne;
F + e⁻ → F⁻
This loss and gain of electrons between the two elements creates an electrostatic attraction them and they enter into an electrovalent bond.
Hence;
Be²⁺ + 2F⁻ → BeF₂
