What kind of substance accepts an electron pair hydroxide ion alkali base acid?
A Lewis acid accepts an electron pair.
What substance is O2 converted into as it accepts electron?
oxide
If an atom donates or accepts an electron what is it considered?
If an atom donates or accepts an electron it is considered an ion.
What would be considered a base and an acid?
There are three definitions for acids and bases. Arrhenius definition: An acid is a substance that produces hydrogen (H+) ions in water while a base produces hydroxide (OH-) ions. Bronsted-Lowry definition: An acid gives up or donates a proton (H+) to another molecule while a base accepts a proton. Lewis definition: An acid accepts an electron pair in bonding to another molecule/ion while a base donates and electron pair. Note that if a substance meets one of the first two definitions it probably meets the others as well.
Can acids donate an electron pair?
No, by the Lewis definition they accept an electron pair.
What substance accepts an electron pair?
The correct answer is acid.
What kind of substance accepts an electron pair hydroxide ion alkali base acid?
A Lewis acid accepts an electron pair.
What kind of substance accepts an electron-pair?
The correct answer is acid.
What is basic substances?
There are three definitions. A substance that produces hydroxide (OH-) ions in water. A substance that accepts a proton (H+ ion). An electron pair donor.
What kind of substance accepts an electron?
The correct answer is acid.
What substance is O2 converted into as it accepts electron?
oxide
What kind substance accepts electron pairs?
The correct answer is acid.
What is a Lewis acid?
A Lewis acid accepts an electron pair from a base. ---APEX--
What happens in a Lewis acid-base reaction?
An acid accepts an electron pair from a base.
What is the definition of an oxidizer?
An oxidizer is a substance that oxidizes another substance. It does this by creating a reaction that accepts an electron from another place or species.
What is a basic substance?
There are three definitions. A substance that produces hydroxide (OH-) ions in water. A substance that accepts a proton (H+ ion). An electron pair donor.
What kind of substance accepts electron pair?
As the definition of a Lewis acid says:"Capable of accepting electron pair (from a (Lewis) base".So H+ and Ag+ are both Lewis acids compared in the following reaction with ammonia:(in which the N-atom is donating the unbound electron pair as being a 'Lewis' base)H+ + NH3 --> HNH3+Ag+ + 2NH3 --> Ag(NH3)2+[As you can see the 'Lewis' definition is much wider than the 'Bronsted/Lowry': it needs free places for an electron pair, not H+]
