Boron is a metalloid, intermediate between metals and non-metals. It exists in many polymorphs (different crystal lattice structures), some more metallic than others. Metallic boron is extremely hard and has a very high melting point.
Answer:
If any atom has more electrons than one energy level can hold, then automatically the electron is accommodated in the next energy level (shell). The remaining extra electrons starts to fill the next energy level. This produces the valency of that particular atom.
Explanation:
Which of what? I don’t see a picture.
A solid dissolves in a liquid when it mixes completely with the liquid. ... Things which dissolve are called solutes and the liquid in which they dissolve is called a solvent to form a solution
Answer:
1. CO₃⁻² + H₂O ⇄ HCO₃⁻ + OH⁻
2. HCO₃⁻ + H₂O ⇄ H₂CO₃ + OH⁻
3. H₂CO₃ → H₂O + CO₂
Basic solution
Explanation:
Brønsted Lowry theory:
Acid → Release a proton
Base → Accept a proton
1. CO₃⁻² + H₂O ⇄ HCO₃⁻ + OH⁻
Carbonate takes a proton from the water
2. HCO₃⁻ + H₂O ⇄ H₂CO₃ + OH⁻
Bicarbonate takesa proton from the water to produce carbonic acid.
3. H₂CO₃ → H₂O + CO₂
Carbonate acid decomposes into CO₂ and H₂O
In the first reaction, when the carbonate takes a proton from the water, water releases OH⁻, so the solution is basic.
