State and explain how the first ionisation energy of aluminium will differ from that of boron.
AS long as the blanket is not wool and shrinkable I see no reason not to wash with sheetsI would use normal setting cold water just in case
If the blanket is like regular material you put in the washer then it is safe with sheetsIt's all being washed right??
I have an afghan that my grandma knitted for me 30 years ago with acrylic yarnIt's cream colored and I wash it with lite colored towels whenever it needs itI thought about tucking it away until my kid got older until she came over with my mom one day and saw it on the back of the couchShe told me how glad she was that I used the damn thing! {My grandma was a very feisty lady} I say was because she passed away not long after that visit at the age of 91Every time I curl up under it on a rainy afternoon, I think of herI wash it in warm water, with what ever soap I'm using, but only dry it until it's still a bit dampAnything to precious to wash, shouldn't be getting dirty!
If you decide to use the washing machine, use the hand wash or gentle cycle with a mild soap like Dreft or Woolite and cold waterTo protect your blanket put it in a mesh laundry bag or in a pillow case (just knot the case's opening to keep it inside.) To dry, put the blanket still inside the bag in your dryer on a low settingYou'll want to take it out of the dryer while it is still dampNow, lay the blanket out on a big towel, the same way you would dry a hand washed sweater.
boron has a total of 3 protons and 3 electronsit is a small atomto remove 1 electron from B whill take a lot of energy because there is only the 1s orbital between the 2s electron and the nucleusthe electrons are held more tightly to the nucleus in B than in AlAl has 13 protons and 13 electronsAl is in the 3rd period so, shielding the outer electrons from the pull of the nucleus are the 1s electrons, the 2s and 2p electrons and the 3s electronAl is bigger than Bthe energy required to removed the first electron from Al will be less than that of Bshielding and size play a role as one moves from top to bottom in a group.
