What is a Lewis acid-base reaction?

In the Lewis theory of acid-base reactions, bases donate pairs of electrons and acids accept pairs of electrons.

A Lewis acid is therefore any substance, such as the H+ ion, that can accept a pair of nonbonding electrons. In other words, a Lewis acid is an electron-pair acceptor.

A Lewis base is any substance, such as the OH- ion, that can donate a pair of nonbonding electrons. A Lewis base is therefore an electron-pair donor.

The Lewis theory suggests that acids react with bases to share a pair of electrons, with no change in the oxidation numbers of any atoms.

Which of these molecular electron configurations describe an excited state?
kherson [118]
<span>We have ground strate configurations of electrons,if electrons are filled in order of increasing energy. When there are electrons are in higher orbitals, we have an atom in an excited state. B, and C are excited states. In B, 2 electrons can fit in the 4s orbital, and that should fill fully before the 4p orbitals. In C, the same is true for 5s and 5p In D, this is not an excited state because 4s fills before 3d</span>

As the Earth formed, naturally occurring radioactive material _____________.
lesya692 [45]
Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials  (also known as NORM) are a wide range of radioactive isotopes that include elements such as carbon 14 and potassium 40, both of which are in the human body. But the main radioactive elements involved in oil and gas production are those found throughout Earth's crust. These elements include uranium and thorium and their respective byproducts, including radon gas.

Equal masses (in grams) of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are reacted to form water. Which substance is limiting?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

a. Oxygen gas is limiting

Explanation:

hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are reacted to form water

2H₂ + O₂  →  2H₂O

the above balanced equation shows that 2 moles of H₂ is required for 1 mole of O₂

Given equal masses of H₂ and O₂

assuming 'x' gm for each, no. of moles of each gas  =

no. of moles of H₂ = x/2 = 0.5x moles

no.of moles of O₂ = x/32 = 0.031x moles

This shows that no. of moles of O₂ is very less so O₂ will become the limiting reagent.
