ch12 - acid-base Flashcards
lewis acid
accepts e- pair, cation, <4 bonding regions, low energy empty orbitals
lewis base
donates e- pair, anion, lone pairs, high energy filled orbitals
bronsted acid
H+ donor
bronsted base
H+ acceptor
naming binary acids
replace hydrogen with hydro, change -ide to -ic, add acid
naming ternary acids
change -ate to -ic or -ite to -ous, add acid
Ka
[products]/[reactants]
K
Ka(reacting acid)/Ka(produced acid)
decrease in O atoms leads to
increase in base strength
decrease in electronegativity of central atom
increase in base strenght
decrease in electronegativity of central atom leads to
increase in base strength
increase in negative charge leads to
increase in base strength
Kw
product of products
decreasing size leads to
increase in base strength
