Beryllium (Be): 1sC2sD, what's C and D?
2 answers:
Answer:
C is equal to 2 and D is equal to 2.
Explanation:
Here C and D represents number of electrons in 1s and 2s orbitals.
Be has 4 electrons. Now, in order write electronic configuration of an atom, electron filling should be started from orbital with lowest energy.
Energy order of orbital with increasing energy: 1s< 2s< 2p< 3s< 3p< 4s< 3d....
So, filling of electron should start from 1s orbital then 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p and so on.
Each orbital can have maximum of 2 electrons.
So electronic configuration of Be is:

Answer:
C.
Explanation:
Molecules with the stronger intermolecular forces are pulled tightly together to form solid at higher temperatures and that's why the freezing point is higher.
Also, molecules with the stronger intermolecular force have greater interaction between the molecules and thus on heating do not boil easily and have high boiling point also.
Thus, melting point and boiling point increases with increase in number of carbon atoms and also increase in intermolecular forces (like hydrogen bonding, if present).
Thus, the compound which is gas at room temperature is <u>because it has least number of carbon atoms and absence of hydrogen bonding.</u>
