Bazza Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 I guess science teachers have to stick together like strong force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 No, the strong force has a very short range. The reason the heavy nuclei are unstable is they are getting larger than the strong force's reach, and electromagnetism is trying very hard to push all those protons apart.

Pariah Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Actually, at really long distances, gravity is really the only force worth talking about. And since Cancer and I are in different (although adjacent) time zones.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 A question from the exam I gave my AP students last week:  In the film Galaxy Quest, the NSEA Protector uses a ‘beryllium sphere’ as a power source. This is a clear homage to Star Trek’s ‘dilithium crystals’, so it is possible that the beryllium in the spheres also exists in diatomic form as ‘diberyllium’.  a. Construct a molecular orbital diagram to determine the bond order for diberyllium (Be2). Could this molecule actually exist? If it did, would it be paramagnetic or diamagnetic?  b. Explain in terms of electron configuration why diberyllium is not observed in nature.  c. Two possible ions derived from diberyllium are (Be2)+ and (Be2)2-. Which of these would be more stable? Justify your answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
