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.

What example of mixture could be seperated using two or more techniques? Explain your answer
STatiana [176]
You can take two liquids of different densities (how much mass is in a given volume) and pour them into a funnel. An example is oil and water. When the mixture settles, the denser liquid will be at the bottom, and drips through the funnel first. This is a separation that you can just let occur naturally.

What is the easiest way for atoms without a full valence shell to gain a full valence shell?
sergey [27]

Most atoms do not. For those atoms that do not have a full valence shell (which usually would contain eight electrons, except for hydrogen and helium, where it would contain two), something has to change. So nature's tendency toward a full valence shell will lead to one of two things: The gain or loss of electrons.
