Answer:
group 17 the halogen.as it has 7 electron in its outermost ring
Answer:
A and B is the answer as there structure change
Humans knowingly create environmental disasters?
Answer:
1. filtration and evaporation
2. i) water is added to the sand and salt mixture
ii) then the mixture is filtrated and so the sand and the salt water was seperated
iii) the salt water is heated with the help of burner until the water gets evaporated
iv) after the water gets evaporated, the salt is remained in the container
3. observation:
- on adding water to the mixture, the salt is completely dissolved in the water
- when filtrated the sand is seperated from the salt water
- now the salt water when heated with the burner until the evaporation, the water is evaporated
- the salt is precipitated and remained in the container
4. cautions:
- while using the burner, we should be cautious with fire
- the container that is heated should be holded with the help of a cloth to avoid heat
Explanation:
To delineate the the nature of the bonds that would be formed between the two elements, let us first write the electronic configuration of the two species;
Be = 2, 2
F = 2, 7
Beryllium is a metal with two valence electrons whereas fluorine is a halogen with seven valence electrons.
When Be loses two electrons it becomes isoelectronic with He;
Be → Be²⁺ + 2e⁻
Also, when fluorine gains an electron, it becomes isoelectronic with Ne;
F + e⁻ → F⁻
This loss and gain of electrons between the two elements creates an electrostatic attraction them and they enter into an electrovalent bond.
Hence;
Be²⁺ + 2F⁻ → BeF₂
