Amines are basic due to the presence of lone pair of electrons on Nitrogen atom they may accept a proton from an acid.

Is NaI acidic neutral or basic?

sodium oxide, Na2O, is basic. This is because it is a metal oxide. Metal oxides tend to be basic while non metal oxides tend to be acidic.


Is NH4ClO4 salt acidic basic or neutral?

NH4Cl, an ammonium salt is chemically neutral, as it is formed by the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base.


Why do plants tend to grow better in a solution that is slightly acidic to a neutral?

Why does acetic acid does not form an acid salt but forms a normal salt?

Actually, it will probably tend to form basic salts. Ethanoic acid is a weak acid, so when it reacts with a strong base, it will form a basic salt.


What pH is stronger acid or basic?

-acidic or acid is stronger than basic-acid is # below 7 and basic is # over 7-7 tends to be neutral- the higher the # the more time it takes to dissolve one thing the less # the faster it takes to dissolveAcidic vs. basic is a measure of whether the parts of water exist in a solution, without having come together to form an entire water molecule. Acidic solutions represent solutions with a preponderance of one type of part (hydrogen ions), and basic solutions represent solutions with a preponderance of the other type of part (hydroxide ions). One can't make a general statement about whether acids or bases are stronger, but more strongly acidic or basic individual solutions tend to have pH farther from neutral (7). They either have a very low pH(acidic) or a very high pH (basic). How strongly acidic or basic they are depends on how far they are from neutral, with neutral being an equal proportion of hydrogen and hydroxide ions.


Oxidisive acid or an alkali?

An oxidizing acid is a substance that donates oxygen atoms during a chemical reaction, while alkalis are bases that accept protons. Oxidizing acids tend to have a lower pH, while alkalis have a higher pH. The reactivity of both substances can vary depending on specific chemical properties.


When acid and base mix what is created?

It really depends what the PH is of either, but if you have an acid of say, 6, and a base of maybe, 8 then you will more than likely end up with what is called a neutral, which can only have a PH of 7


What is the difference between metallic and non metallic oxides?

Metallic oxides are formed by the reaction of a metal with oxygen and tend to be basic in nature, while non-metallic oxides are formed by the reaction of a non-metal with oxygen and can be acidic, neutral, or basic. Metallic oxides typically conduct electricity, while non-metallic oxides do not.


Do bureaucrats tend to be liberal neutral or conservative?

Why is that acetic acid does not form an acid salt but forms a normal salt?

Acetic acid is a weak acid that does not completely dissociate in water to form a salt with a metal cation. Instead, it forms a normal salt through a reaction with a base, where the acidic hydrogen is replaced by a metal cation to form a salt like sodium acetate.


An Amine functions as an organic What?

An amine functions as an organic base, meaning it can accept a proton (H+) to form a charged compound. This property allows amines to participate in various chemical reactions and biological processes.


What is the difference between acid an bases?

Acids are substances that donate protons (H+) in a chemical reaction, while bases are substances that accept protons. Acids tend to have a sour taste, turn litmus paper red, and have a pH less than 7. Bases, on the other hand, tend to have a bitter taste, turn litmus paper blue, and have a pH greater than 7.
