A Lewis acid.
A Lewis acid accepts an electron pair.
O2 is converted into H2O (water) as it accepts electrons during the process of cellular respiration.
If an atom donates or accepts an electron it is considered an ion.
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.
No, acids cannot donate an electron pair. Acids are substances that tend to donate a proton (H+) in a chemical reaction, while bases are substances that can donate an electron pair.
The correct answer is acid.
A Lewis acid accepts an electron pair.
The correct answer is acid.
A substance can be identified as a Lewis acid if it accepts an electron pair, and as a Lewis base if it donates an electron pair. Lewis acids are electron pair acceptors, while Lewis bases are electron pair donors.
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.
The correct answer is acid.
The correct answer is acid.
An acid accepts an electron pair from a base.
True. The Lewis definition of an acid describes it as a substance that can accept an electron pair, while a base is a substance that donates an electron pair.
An acid is a substance that donates a proton or accepts an electron pair in a chemical reaction. Acids typically have a sour taste and can turn blue litmus paper red.
