The band diagram for beryllium with
Concept introduction:
Bands are continuum of energy levels. The bands are of two types: valence band and conduction band.
Valence band is the band that holds valence electrons and conduction band is the band which is slightly higher in energy than valence band. On the basis of band theory, a partly filled band shows conduction and fully filled band doesn’t show conduction.

- The disproportionation of CO to graphite and CO₂ is ther-modynamically favored but slow.(a) What does this mean in terms of the magnitudes of the equi-librium constant (K), rate constant (k), and activation energy (Ea)?(b) Write a balanced equation for the disproportionation of CO.(c) Calculate K꜀ at 298 K. (d) Calculate Kₚ at 298 Karrow_forwardSilica (SiO2) is an impurity that must be removed from ametal oxide or sulfide ore when the ore is being reduced toelemental metal. To do this, lime (CaO) is added. It reactswith the silica to form a slag of calcium silicate (CaSiO3),which can be separated and removed from the ore.(a) Write the balanced equation for this process.(b) Can this be considered a Lewis acid–base reaction? Ifso, what is the Lewis acid and what is the Lewis base?arrow_forwardTellurium forms a compound with fluorine in which the tellurium ion has an oxidation number of +4.
