Exothermic is a chemical reaction in which heat is released. Lighting a candle is an example of an exothermic because the flame is the heat being released.
This example is describing the Chromatography method.
Sp2 hybridization forms 1 sigma bond and 1 pi bond.
Molar mass is the mass of one stable molecule of a compound, that cannot join with another molecule of the same kind to form a new one, while an empirical formula is the molecular formula in its simplest form. E.g. empirical formula of ethene is CH2while its molecular formula is C2H4.
B3+ is isoelectronic with helium.
Isoelectronicity is the phenomenon whereby two or more molecular entities have the same number of electrons or similar electronic configuration regardless of the nature of the elements that are involved.
In the question given above, helium and B3+ have the same number of electrons. Helium has two electrons. Boron has five electrons but it has given away three of the electrons [that is why it has a charge of +3] and it now has only two left.
