(L5) Module 1 L5 - Acids and bases Flashcards
What’s the 1st kind of chemical reaction?
electron transfer
What’s the 2nd kind of chemical reaction?
precipiation
What’s the 3rd kind of chemical reaction?
acid-base
What is a lewis base?
electron-pair donator?
What is a lewis acid?
electron-pair acceptor
What is a coordinate/dative bond?
When both atoms share the electrons that only come from 1 of the atoms.
Bronsted-Lowry acid definition
proton (h+) donor
Bronsted-Lowry base definition
proton (h+) acceptor
What are the bronsted-lowry acid/base definitions for (conditions)
acid/base behaviour in an aqueous solution
what is a conj acid/base pair?
2 species which differ by a proton
What is an acid?
Proton attatched to an extremely electronegative atom (F, O, N) via a polar bond.
What are strongest atoms attatched to?
halogen (group17) or oxygen (group16) (F, O , N)
What is a base?
atleast 1 lone pair of electrons. usually group 15, 16, 17.
What forms strongest bases?
Formed from deprotonation of molecules containg X-H bonds, where X is a group 15 or 16 element.
What is a electrophile? Nucleophile?
electrophile, loves and accepts electrons
nucleophiles is a electron donator
