OH⁻, BeCl₂ and SiF₄ are Lewis acids whereas, Mg²⁺ is a Lewis base.

<h3>What is a Lewis acid-base reaction?</h3>
  • According to the Lewis theory of acid-base reactions, acids accept pairs of electrons and bases donate pairs of electrons.
  • Any substance like H+ ion, which is capable of accepting a pair of nonbonding electrons or an electron-pair acceptor is known as a Lewis acid.
  • Any substance, like the OH- ion, that is capable of donating a pair of nonbonding electrons or an electron-pair donor is a Lewis base.
  • Here OH⁻, BeCl₂ and SiF₄ are electron deficient whereas, Mg²⁺ donates the electrons to other species present in the reaction.
  • From the Lewis theory, with no change in the oxidation numbers of any atoms, acids react with bases to share a pair of electrons.

If N gains 3 electrons from other atoms, why is it written N^-3 (with a -3)?
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Because number of electrons becomes greater than protons and atom form anion.

Explanation:

In order to understand this problem we must know about anion and cation.

Anion:

When an atom gain the electrons anion is formed. The negative sign shows that atom gain electron because number of electron are greater than protons or we can say that negative charge becomes greater than positive charge.

Cation:

When atom lose electron cation is formed. The atom thus have positive charge because number of positive charge i.e protons are increased are greater than negative charge or electron.

In given problem N gain three electrons which means negative charge becomes greater that's why the extra electron gained by atoms are written as -3.

A cell is made of molecules and a molecule is made of atoms. That's the simplest way of putting it. More complicated is that a cell is made up of macromolecules, such as proteins, lipids, etc. A molecule is a particular configuration of atoms.
