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.

Boyle's Law represents the relationship of volume as pressure changes. The constants of Boyle's Law are:
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

d. Temperature and number of molecules of gas  

Step-by-step explanation:

Boyle's Law states, "The volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure if the temperature remains constant."

Let's examine the words.

"… volume…is inversely proportional to the pressure …" This means that volume and pressure are the <em>variables</em>.

"… fixed mass of a gas …" means that the number of molecules is constant.

"… temperature remains constant" speaks for itself.

a, c, and e are <em>wrong</em>, because pressure is a variable.

b is <em>wrong</em>, because volume is a variable.
