Classify the following species into Lewis acids and Lewis bases and show how these act as Lewis acid/base: (a) OH–
(b) F –
(c) H+
(d) BCl3.
Answered Feb 05, 2023
(a) OH– is a Lewis base since it can donate its lone pair of electrons.
(b) F – is a Lewis base since it can donate a pair of electrons.
(c) H+ is a Lewis acid since it can accept a pair of electrons.
(d) BCl3 is a Lewis acid since it can accept a pair of electrons.
Acid Strength: Acid strength is an acid's ability or tendency to lose a proton. Different acids should have different strengths. There are very few strong acids which are completely ionized in...
Answer is group 15
Strong bases: NaOH, KOH Weak bases : NaHCO3, Ca(OH)2, Mg(OH)2.
Lewis acids are lone pair (of e- ) accepters while Lewis bases are lone pair donators. AlCl3 is a Lewis acid while NH3 is a Lewis base.
(a) Hydroxyl ion is a Lewis base as it can donate an electron lone pair (OH–). (b) Fluoride ion acts as a Lewis base as it can donate any one of...
The table below lists the conjugate bases for the given Bronsted acids. Bronsted acid Conjugate base HF F- H2SO4 HSO4 HCO3- ...
(iv) only d, is correct
The correct answer is (2) If deletion happen at 901st position than the remaining 98 bases specifying for 33 codons of amino acids will be altered.
Ans. (3) BCl3 & AlCl3 both have vacant p-orbital & incomplete octet. So they act as Lewis acid.
