Why is boron and beryllium an exception to the octet rule

Chemistry
1 answer:
aliya0001 [1]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Beryllium especially, but Boron as well both exhibit metallic characteristics.

The outside ring of Beryllium contains 2 electrons. It would have to take on 6 electrons to have a ring of 8. The same statement can be made about Boron (except that it would need 5 electrons to make 8). It is easier for the atom to give up 2 or 3 than than to take on 5 or 6. It would not be easy to have a 5 or 6 minus charge on it.

A scientist is tracking an object orbiting the sun that is found between mars and Jupiter. Which additional feature can be used
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Size is the additional feature that determines asteroids.

Explanation:

Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the sun. Although asteroids orbit the sun like planets, they are much smaller than planets. There are lots of asteroids in our solar system. Most of them live in the main asteroid belt which is a region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

Someone PLEASE help me I don’t remember this.
In-s [12.5K]

Answer: genotype: Ee phenotype: two small eyes.

genotype: RR'  phenotype: pink eyes

genotype: GB phenotype: green and blue splotches

genotype: cc phenotype:  straight

genotype: Tt phenotype:  has tail

genotype: Ss phenotype: sharp teeth

genotype: FF' phenotype: three toes

genotype: ww phenotype: white

genotype: YY phenotype: pointy

genotype: nn phenotype: two ears

genotype: Ll phenotype: long

Explanation: hope this helps (the uppercase letters are dominant genes. the lowercase letter are recessive genes. for a recessive gene to show up in a phenotype you need 2 lower case letters such as cc or ss. for a dominant gene to show up in phenotype you need either 1 or 2 uppercase letters such as Cc or SS. Codominant genes present both colors in the phenotypes i.e. a brown and white cow. incomplete dominance is when neither gene is dominant so a mix of the 2 are present in the phenotype i.e. a pink rose. A regulatory gene controls the expression of a gene

Compare the seasons on Titan to the seasons on Earth.
kiruha [24]
Since Titan orbits roughly along Saturn's equatorial plane, and Titan's tilt relative to the sun is about the same as Saturn's, Titan's seasons are on the same schedule as Saturn's—seasons that last more than seven Earth years, and a year that lasts 29 Earth years.
