Neither.

Neon is a noble gas (inert), which means it will not react with other atoms because of its full outer shell (see octet rule). It does not "need" to react with other atoms in order to lose/gain electrons; therefore, it will not become an ion--cation or anion.

Do radon neon and calcium combine with hydrogen to form an acid?

Radon and neon are noble gases and are inert, so they do not form compounds with other elements like hydrogen to create an acid. Calcium can react with hydrogen to form calcium hydride, but this does not produce an acid.

Acetamide is a weak base. It can undergo protonation to form the conjugate acid, acetic acid, in acidic solutions.


Which of the following best describes a bronsted lowry acid base reaction?

A Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction involves the transfer of a proton (H+) from the acid to the base. The acid donates a proton, while the base accepts a proton. This results in the formation of a conjugate base from the acid and a conjugate acid from the base.

What happens in a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction?

In a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, an acid donates a proton (H+) to a base, which accepts the proton. This results in the formation of a conjugate base from the acid and a conjugate acid from the base. The overall reaction involves the transfer of a proton from the acid to the base.
