So, here acceleration is constant and is perpendicular to d

initial velocity of object. So, path will be projectile.
[Note: Do not confuse it with circular motion case. There the
acceleration and velocity are always perpendicular to each
other in uniform circular motion case and hence acceleration
is never constant.]
For projectile motion, angle between initial velocity and
constant acceleration is between 0o & 180o excluding both
values.

The extraction of beryllium from its compounds is a difficult
process due to its high affinity for oxygen at elevated
temperatures, and its ability to reduce water when its oxide film
is removed. Beryllium is most commonly extracted from the
mineral beryl (Be3Al2(SiO3)6), which is either sintered using an
extraction agent or melted into a soluble mixture.
Beryllium hydroxide created using either the sinter or melt
method is then converted into beryllium fluoride or beryllium
chloride. Electrolysis of molten beryllium chloride is then used
to obtain the metal.

Boron trihalides are good Lewis acids as Boron has a vacant
orbital and it is electron deficient in the compound. It seems
like the tendency of B to gain an electron pair should be in
the order of its electronic charge deficiency in trihalides and
therefore expected order is
BF3  BCl3  BBr3  BI3

However, this is not true as vacant orbital of Boron gets

involved in back-bonding with lone pairs of halogens
attached to Boron.

orbital of B will be least in case of BF . 3

includes a case of selecting '0' Apples, '0' Banana and '0' of
