Concept explainers
Interpretation: Letter (a to e) that best completes new definition of strong base in order to be consistent with old definition of strong base should be determined.
Concept introduction: According to Bronsted-Lowry concept, substance that donates proton is termed as acid while that accepts or gains protons is called base. Species formed after loss of protons from acids are known as their respective conjugate bases whereas conjugate acid is produced by addition of protons to base. Strength of conjugate acids and conjugate bases are inversely related to strengths of their respective bases and acids.
According to Lewis concept, substance that donates electron pair is termed as base while that accepts or gains electron pair is called acid. For example,
According to Arrhenius concept, substances that donate hydrogen ions in solutions are known as acids while bases are substances that release hydroxide ions in solutions.

- Part 2 of 2 Draw the skeletal structure of the product(s) for the Lewis acid-base reaction. Include lone pairs and formal charges (if applicable) on the structures. The Click and drag to start drawing a structure.arrow_forwardPlease help with drawing the conjugate acid and filling in the blank. For "A negative, no charge, positive charge" you have to select the right one. 1. Draw the conjugate acid with formal charge(s) below. If there are electrons around any of the atom signore them for now. The details will be addressed in the next section. 2. N with 3 bonds and 2 electrons around the atom in the base becomes a N atom with (BLANK) bonds. (A negative charge, no charge, positive charge) , and (BLANK) electron(s) around the atom in the conjugate acid.arrow_forwardO REPRESENTATIONS OF ORGANIC MOLECULES Ranking resonance structures Rank the resonance structures in each row of the table from major to minor.
