Electronegativity of boron is the highest in the group and it will form covalent bonds in all his combinations.
The rest of the group will form bonds with intermediate nature between covalent and ions bods in their respective compounds, with thallium (Tl) behaving most close to a metal.
Moreover boron have a very high melting points (around 2200 °C) while in the boron cristal the chemical bonds are directed in space, similar with carbon suggesting his nature as a non-metal.
Other elements form the group Al, Ga, In, Tl have lower melting points 660, 30, 157 and 304 °C, respectively. Also in the elemental state, they have metallic characteristics: metalic luster, ductility, high electrical and thermal conductivity.
we can do soo by noticing any colour change, or by the formation of an insoluble precipitate or by the evolution of a gas.
Answer:
This is a basic solution
Explanation:
To be able to provide a succint description of this solution, from the given parameters we can deduce the pH of the solution.
Given parameters:
Concentration of OH⁻ = 1 x 10⁻⁴M
Solution
We knonw that pOH = -log₁₀[OH⁻]
pOH = -log₁₀ 0.0001 = - (-4) = 4
For an aqeous solution:
pH + pOH = 14
pH = 14 - 4 = 10
The pH of the solution has been derieved to be 10
This is a basic solution
Their ability to lose that electron easily. This property is electronegativity. Once that electron is taken away, the atom becomes an ion with a charge of +1. The ion would be much more stable than the atom, because once the electron is lost, the shell underneath will already have 8 electrons that resembles the configuration of a noble gas.
