Q

a substance that donates a hydrogen ion (H+)

A

Bronsted acid

20
Q

a substance that accepts
the H+

A

Bronsted base

21
Q

“proton” is a synonym for H+
- loss of an
electron from H leaving the bare nucleus—a
proton

22
Q

The equilibrium constant (Keq) for the reaction of an
acid (HA) with water to form hydronium ion and the
conjugate base (A-
) is a measure related to the
strength of the acid

23
Q

High pKa = weak acid, strong base

Low pKa = strong acid, weak base (is proportional to the energy difference between products and reactants)

24
Q

Stronger acids have larger Keq

25
pKa = -log Ka
26
pKa of water is 15.74
27
The stronger base holds the proton more tightly
28
characterized by the presence of positively polarized hydrogen atom
Organic Acids
29
Have an atom with a lone pair of electrons that can bond to H+
Organic Bases
30
Nitrogen-containing compounds derived from ammonia are the most common organic bases Oxygen-containing compounds can react as bases when with a strong acid or as acids with strong bases
31
are electron pair acceptors; electron deficient; + charged; boron
Lewis acids
32
are electron pair donors; - charged; lone pairs
Lewis bases
33
Brønsted acids are not Lewis acids because they cannot accept an electron pair directly (only a proton would be a Lewis acid)
34
The Lewis definition of acidity includes metal cations, such as Mg2+ - They accept a pair of electrons when they form a bond to a base
35
Group 3A elements, such as BF3 (boron trifluoride) and AlCl3 (aluminum chloride) , are Lewis acids because they have unfilled valence orbitals and can accept electron pairs from Lewis bases
36
Transition-metal compounds, such as TiCl4 (titanium tetrachloride), FeCl3 (ferric chloride or iron (III) chloride), ZnCl2 (zinc chloride), and SnCl4 (tin (IV) chloride or stannic chloride), are Lewis acids
37
can accept protons as well as Lewis acids, therefore the definition encompasses that for Brønsted bases
Lewis Bases
38
Most oxygen- and nitrogen-containing organic compounds are Lewis bases because they have lone pairs of electrons
39
Noncovalent Interactions
- Dipole-dipole forces - Dispersion forces - Hydrogen bonds
40
Occur between polar molecules as a result of electrostatic interactions among dipoles; Forces can be attractive of repulsive depending on orientation of the molecules
Dipole-dipole
41
Occur between all neighboring molecules and arise because the electron distribution within molecules that are constantly changing
Dispersion Forces
42
Most important noncovalent interaction in biological molecules
Hydrogen bond forces
43
The strength Brønsted acid is related to the -1 times the logarithm of the acidity constant, pKa. Weaker acids have higher pKa’s
44
From strongest to weakest, it would be ion-dipole, hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole, dipole-induced dipole, london dispersion forces.
45
Bronsted acid = H+ donors Bronsted base = H+ acceptors Lewis acid = e- acceptors Lewis base = e- donors
