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.

How do you Calculate the molarity of 250 ml of solution in which 2.7 g of MgCl2 are dissolved
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Molar mass of MgCl2 is 95 g/mol

Mg = 24 g/mol and Cl = 35.5 ×2 = 71 g/mol

moles = mass given/ molar mass

= 2.7/95 = 0.028 mol

volume = 250/1000 = 0.25 dm3 (ml is the same as dm3)

molarity of MgCl2 = moles/volume

= 0.028/0.25

= 0.112 mol/dm3
